That's a flawed argument by Mr Geist.

It is (relatively) easy to tell the type of traffic for shaping purposes.

It is like looking at a highway and being able to tell the difference between makes of cars (and enforcing a specific speed limit for different models).

Now you are trying to charge a toll based on the nationality of the passengers.
