This is a bit scary - are they doing it in partnership with the CIA?
There is already a website you can log onto for free that lets you type in a mobile phone number and it will locate them within in 10metres in under a minute. I wish I could remember the web address - I tried it a few times then called friends to see if it was correct and worked every time.

I agree with Jason. It certainly is a bit scary. Will it let you block out your location if you want to or will you have no choice?
