We rented a Prius for our recent vacation, and I wondered about this
myself - but not enough to throw the fobs out the window while going down
the freeway. ;)
I also thought it was funny (and always have) that the rental agencies
put both keys (or fobs, in the case of the Prius) on the same keyring and
you can't take either off the ring.
"If only I had a spare key - oh, I do, and it's locked inside the car
with the other one". ;)
