And for the record, the GPS locators currently in cell phones tend *not*

E911 is plugged into your cell phone carrier's locator service, you still
have a high probability of being screwed.

No idea why this is relevant to NANOG, but cell phone location works by
cell triangulation, not by GPS. So if the cell phone is working indoors,
the locator service should work.
