How they gonna drone your ass if they can't track your ass? In all seriousness - at the Aspen Institute talks former NSA chief General Hayden emphasized that location data is much more important than the content of mobile wireless traffic. So this tells me that if "they" know where you are, they can at the very least deploy assets to contain, apprehend, or neutralize a target. The US almost certainly used this technique to track and kill US Citizen turned al-Qaeda soldier Anwar Awlaki in Yemen (no due process/no trial).
