What's to stop that from happening now...

My point is that it would be an incredibly useful tool to make your daily life more information rich.

The system's web-based -- so we couldn't associate data with people any better than a phone number or email address does now. If you had a webpage linked to your WB location dynamically, you could tell people anything you wanted about yourself.

Unless we go to extraordinary measures (ei: AWACS), non-WorldBoard objects or individuals cannot be tracked in real time. They require either an emitter, or immobility.

It vould be vonderful!

You haff benn varned, Herr HooFatt! Haff nice day, jah?
