The toll road that began operating here in Israel seems able to read
your license plate number, without even requiring cars to slow down (and
they definitely _don't_ slow down...).
So I think this observation about EZ Pass is probably true, but for some
time ago; with current technology, reading license plates is possible
(which, I guess, has some alarming privacy implications...).
