I'd like to see FBI agents pulling up a map of the guy's locations and finding an elaborate drawing of a penis.

  I'm sure this will happen on Archer at some point.

  Kind of reminds me how Boeing test pilots will often draw shapes on the map when they are flying around aircraft to get in test hours. Here is a 787 logo 'drawn' with a 787: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/BOE236/history/20120209/2100Z/KBFI/KBFI http://flightaware.com/live/flight/BOE236/history/20120209/2...

It's so much easier to just keep passing it around to your friends so they can attach it to as many different cars (or other kinds of vehicle) as possible. Imagine what your fans in government would think if the logs of your car included long periods over water or a trip to the stratosphere or a trek through the woods. Or they decided to find you once you decided to seemingly leave civilization behind to discover you turned into a bear. An angry bear with a GPS collar.

  I think I'd try to pop it into the wheel well of the nearest police car.

    This...sounds like a great way to get shot.
    - tsotha 12y ago
      Oh I'd definitely do it while they were buying donuts.
  - rbanffy 12y ago
    That would probably give the police enough reason to arrest you. I prefer feeding a disjoint set of movements made by random people.
    - tsotha 12y ago
      Arrest you for what? The other option would be to find a long-haul truck.
      - rbanffy 12y ago
        I'm sure tampering with a police car is illegal and that police forces are famous for their lack of sense of humour. They won't take this lightly.

Much easier - just send it round robin amongst various friends in various parts of the country via FedEx ground. That should keep them busy for awhile.
