Aren't most GPS devices only receivers, not transponders?

People have long been able to tap into your home cordless phone. Before that it was easy to tap into wired phone lines, and telegraph lines. Communication is notoriously insecure, for good reason. If every human were so easily traced and tracked, the FBI would have to stop putting out its Most Wanted list and the crime solution rate would soar. They wouldn't waste all that technology just on the average citizen without first testing it out on a fair target, one that won't worry the sheeple.
