British science minister Malcolm Wicks has suggested that vulnerable older people ("older" now means older-than-me) could be tagged and tracked by satellite to make sure they don't go missing. This could lead to some interesting and unforgettable conversations in households up and down the country including something like this:
"Terry will you go out and bring your father home right now please! I just checked the GPS and he's gone down the knocking shop again. Whatever will the neighbours think?"
