It's time that two technologies are made mandatory on cell phones- GPS locators, and a transponder. I see two immediate uses. If the cell-phone is robbed,or lost, it can be found, but importantly, since the mobile is an omnipresent part of almost every-one's person, it can help locate lost or kidnapped people.

Finally, during natural disasters like earthquakes, hurricanes and tsunamis, it will be much easier and faster to locate people alive or dead, and could help to bring down the death-toll dramatically.

Sometimes it takes days of difficult, expensive, highly specialised techniques to locate lost people, while this is happening, some people could be alive, and finally die days later in suffocation and distress, waiting for help to arrive.
