From a SAR point of view I could see how a system like this could help save people.
However the point of going off into nowhere is that there is some risk and you want to disconnect yourself from techonology. As a rock climber who goes in the backcountry, I like going places where you cant have an immedate rescue. Places were there arent other people.
The other extreme is that you start to make everything easily availible to everyone. You could store supplies and water in the backcountry as well. But eventually you'll turn the place into a outdoor disneyland instead of wilderness....look at what has happened to yosemite.
What can the average joe do to stop this law? Does anyone have an online petition page, or a preformated letter to send to my congressman, or any type of webpage that would help me do something against this law? Resources??
