This speculation is fun but my question is how do people do this now? I
would assume that many people on this list work for large companies with
multiple sites and a single phone network spanning them all.
When somebody in the office picks up a phone and dials EXTERNAL-911 how
do the emergancy services know they are in one building rather than another
office across town?
Anyway, everybody knows this whole thing with locating phones for
emergancy calls is just a smokescreen for the CIA/NSA/FBI/UN/RIAA being
able to track us 24x7 everywhere :)
