In some cases this might backfire horribly. Imagine some guy sets his phone up to send an SMS to his spouse when he is held up at work. Imagine he also lets the phone send his location, because he travels a lot at work. Result: "X will be late today, he is currently at [coordinates of his secretary's house]". Don't get me wrong, this feature is awesome but when combined with naivity the device can do things that are equally naive.
