See your child's current location on a map.

Of course, the NSA also knows where you are, if you're on a list as a peacenik.

2. wasn't this the excuse for turning over records without a subpoena?
Gee, thanks Verizon, but I would have preferred that you abide by the Fourth Amendment and required a subpoena to turn over your customers' records. I already know where my son is.

3. Big Brother loves you!
He knows where your children are the same as you do!

If you speak against Big Brother, an unfortunate accident could befall members of your family!

4. GPS is standard in most new cell phones
Besides tracking, a cell phone can be used to easedrop just like a microphone bug. It is only a matter of if or when the feature is implemented.
