It is not completely unreasonable that the Swiss might be tracking
phones to tens or hundreds of meters; there are US companies whose
business it is to make such solutions available for celphone 911
response and "law enforcement purposes" (as they put it). As to
whether they really -are- doing so, that's for someone else to say.
