The efficacy will become evident very quickly once it is operational. It's a great idea and an ideal use of new technology. Of course, Wildhorse is right as well...it's a slippery slope. One can imagine the technology being used strictly to save lives through search and rescue, then the use perhaps being expanded to catch poachers in Africa who are (despicably) hunting elephants. When it works there, it will probably be employed to combat guerrilla warfare, and ultimately be used for surveillance wherever and whenever governments feel like it. That's probably already being done without our knowing it. So, at least the SAR use will yield happy results with the best of intentions.
