Are we going too far with cell phone "location" technology?

I guess it all depends on circumstances. A friend's mother drove off the road and her car ended upside down in a river. They were able to find her by her cell phone.

I heard this story on the radio coming to work today, SGM (Join to see). Despite the possible abuses of the technology, I think the pros far outweigh the cons. Imagine how it might save a life in an earthquake or an avalanche (earthquake is probably more likely). I think it's a very good development.

The biggest issue with any technology or ability is the checks and balances against abuse. Security is always on the bottom of the list for priority.
