[BC] RFI creates problems for cars

[Chris Oradat]

<snip>
   A local broadcast equipment salesman just bought a Toyota Hybrid that has
a RKE that allows you to open the doors, and turn on the car by pushing
buttons. As long as the car sees the RKE device in range, no keys are needed
for anything. I would be concerned that this could technology would lead to
carjackers that know that once the owner gets close enough to his car, it's
an open target.

My parents have an Avalon with this feature.  'close enough' for them is
about two feet.  I have been unable to open the trunk on the car until my
dad rounded the tail lights.
