...or at least your phone.

Congress mandates cell phone locating ability, ostensibly for emergency 911 services:

"Under the E911 mandate, carriers could track phones embedded with GPS chips, even when they aren't turned on."

But this is just so dispatchers can know where 911 callers are calling from, naturally. Mind you, I'm not making a stand on privacy issues here, but I do take offense at privacy-removing bills being masked as anything else.

If you like it, please share it.
