Cell phone tracking is not a new idea. The US government has used this method to track down many criminals in the past. The latest example was the college bomber guy that was attempting to make a smiley face on the map with pipe bombs. They tracked his cell phone calls and were able to arrest him. The prospect of tracking occuring to everyone (not just criminals) is indeed appaling. At some point in time somebody in the government is going to have to institute a privacy "bill of rights". The news technology today is too powerful and needs to be controlled at the highest points of the law.
