Nah those numbers are weak. If you think about how the scanner probably runs at 20-60hz or something you could x20-60 those numbers for every second they were scanned!

That said, theres at least 4 scanners at every intersection in the main city near me that are definitely scanning the same car 4 different ways every time it passes. So i could believe 670million scans a day.

About 670million times a day too many still.
