It's not.   At least not in Maryland.  Climate control is an exception.

Laws and Regulations
Idle Reduction Requirement
A motor vehicle engine may not operate for more than five consecutive minutes when the vehicle is not in motion, with the following exceptions: 1) when traffic conditions or mechanical difficulties do not allow the vehicle to operate; 2) when it is necessary to operate heating, cooling or auxiliary equipment installed on the vehicle; 3) to bring vehicle to manufacturer’s recommended operating temperature; or 4) if idling is necessary to accomplish the intended use of the vehicle.

(Reference Maryland Statutes, Transportation Code 22-402)[/quote]

+1. Its not safe to operate a frosted-over car. Of course you can run the engine to defrost the car. [/quote]
