It's a standalone network that is not physically connected in any way to the public networks we know of as the Internet. Learned that from a Gibson novel.

Perrin, please make a Power wrought screwdriver for me--Rand's orders.

1) Would-be thief uses gizmo to cause the TPMS light to display on the dash. 2) Unwary driver pulls over, gets out and begins to inspect the tires. 3) Thief jumps in and takes off. 4) Profit. This not only takes technical expertise, but also stealth and a high level of physical fitness.

'They are secret lists with no way for people to petition to get off or even to know if they're on,' So difficult to travel...no idea why! The flight vendors don't return my phone calls and it's like it takes me 10x the normal time when I'm driving in the airport's general direction...

I never thought I would have to consider your grandma before going into a contractual agreement with a ATT. But OK, let's forget about hard contracts that bind and sometimes even protect us, and have some sympathy for ATT. Let's raise the rates! Do it for ATT, and do it for grandma!

Talk about it like that. Tell them you're like the someone who helps the conductors and trains get to where they need to go safely. I'm lacking on source material here, but I do recall my US history teacher mentioning that at least one very early book was written that described some pioneering networking ideas in terms of the railroads.
