The bill does not require event data records to transmit anything. The word "transmit" in the subsection of the bill pertaining to event data recorders is a restrictive clause; the effect is that if your box happens to transmit anything, those transmissions are covered by the privacy provisions of the bill.


And if you read from the original bill, it becomes even more clear that this could not be used for wireless snooping.

The need to attach physical hardware to get data out of it is made clear here: http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=ecfr&sid...

And the conditions under which it's recording data, and the data being recorded, are described in the following two links: http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=ecfr&sid... http://ecfr.gpoaccess.gov/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=ecfr&sid...

Long story short, it's really not very exciting.
