If you have a list of timestamps of when a large number of handsets were near each other and a rough distance between them, you only need a tiny number of GPS position fixes on a handful of phones to determine the exact location (within a few metres) of everyone else.

It's completely stupid, and exactly what I expected from the current crop of Big Brother control freaks in power.
