One of my concerns about cell phone tracking through built in GPS sender receivers in almost all cell phones now is that this is all an armed predator drone needs is a known cell phone gps locator in any phone to kill anyone walking, driving, or at home or work or traveling anywhere on earth. Especially, as more and more evolved armed drones are built by almost any nation and eventually by almost any business or company, almost anyone could be killed at any time and no one would necessarily know who did it or who was responsible and maybe wouldn't know it was even done by an airborne or landborn or waterborn armed drone.
I'm seeing these two technologies on a collision course with thousands to millions dying on a whim eventually. So, it is good people around the world are having this debate now before millions die from armed drones in the future by anonymous assassination that might not ever be trackable or traceable.
Imagine in the future 100 Qaddhafi like tyrants using their oil money (or whatever their nations sells) to buy 100 predator drones each. All he has to do is to look up the cell phone numbers for all the people he wants to be rid of. Then all he has to do is to tell the local newspapers that terrorists or gangsters killed all those people.
Or even worse, imagine the scenario from either the Terminator series with Arnold Swartzennegger and Skynet or what happened in "I, Robot". By the way look at the similarity to skynets armed drones to the predator drones with hellfire missiles today. You might say, "Well. Humans need to operate Predator drones." Nope. You are wrong. Once a Predator drone is given a command it can take off execute as many tanks or people that it has weapons to kill and return to base and land. It has on board artificial intelligence. It can make decisions on its own without any further contact with anyone. Skynet anyone?
