IOW: We must end this "privacy" thing - think of people who might be dying!

It's all about power, anyway. The NSA doesn't need a warrant at all. When the police want to get an alleged criminal they can get a warrant in minutes. But when it's your life in danger, it takes hours. The purpose of a system is what it does.

Most of us want to recover the dead.

You’d be wild if lawyers had prevented saving a life though.

It depends on the situation. If someone is on fire, yes, it’s pointless. If someone is lost without good reception, no. If someone is suffering from dementia and wandering aimlessly, no. If someone has been abducted and can’t use their phone but still has it with them, no. These things do happen.
