Not unless they "lose" their car! They are often "permanently" attached, ie. not removable without rendering them unusable. Kind of like the optional "permanent sticker" you can get for Sunpass.

Tried our new toy today and it really wasn't that great. Did not work at all at 2 of the 6 gates we tried (and we pulled up literally inches from the receiver) yet when I took out my card and held it 18
away that worked. Seemed pretty finicky to the point of "if it's not 95% successful then we might as well stick with the card." YMMV of course. Bridgeport Lake Miona was a total fail (but maybe a special passport is needed to enter there!!!).
