Wired News: Traffic Hackers Hit Red Light
Wired News: Traffic Hackers Hit Red Light: "If you've ever been stuck in traffic longing for a magic box that could turn all your red lights to green, beware: Acting on that fantasy became a federal crime this week.

The Safe Intersections Act, part of the transit bill signed Wednesday by President Bush, makes it a misdemeanor for unauthorized users to wield a 'traffic signal pre-emption transmitter,' a special remote control used by police, firefighters and ambulance drivers to change traffic lights to green as they approach an intersection."
