"You're right. It has become an arms race. And a bloody one at that. The quiescent status quo days of the 90s, where a Valentine One and some plate mask would get you on a cannonball run from San Fran. to NY in thirty-six hours flat, only you and the road and the sun and the moon, cool as ice inside the cockpit of your jet black NSX, the roar of its V6 the chorus of your conquest -- they're long gone. In 2014, you need to have some form of offensive signals capability on your vehicle to be truly safe. That means active radar jamming, signature misdirection, even supersonic incapacitation."
