Rose, Rose, Rose,
Calm down. They do NOT identify where you are, where you were, or why you
are there, or how much $$$ you lost ;-)
Here is what they tell anyone looking:
Vehicle speed (five seconds before impact)
Engine speed (five seconds before impact)
Brake status (five seconds before impact)
Throttle position (five seconds before impact)
State of driver's seat belt switch (On/Off)
Passenger's airbag (On/Off)
IR Warning Lamp status (On/Off)
Time from vehicle impact to airbag deployment
Ignition cycle count at event time
Ignition cycle count at investigation
Maximum velocity for near-deployment event
Velocity vs. time for frontal airbag deployment event
Time from vehicle impact to time of maximum velocity
Time between near-deploy and deploy event (if within five seconds)
Being a privacy-paranoid person myself, I am not at all adverse to
crucifying things that provided unneeded personal info, but this, at least
for NOW, has nothing to do with your proclivities.

| Ok...ok.... I am now stopping my ranting..and I do not mean to kill the

be
