Here's a nightmare scenario for you. In order to better
be able to track people, the government would require them to
carry around a radio transmitter which broadcasts their location
at all times. This information would be precise to 300 yards or
better (much better with GPS-enabled transmitters), and would be
accessible to any law-enforcement officer at all without a warrant.
Reality, of course, is different from this nightmare scenario. In reality, the devices are called "cell phones", and rather than force you to carry them, they get you to pay for the privilege.

scary stuff.
Only if the cell phone is turned on (as the linked article points out).
