You'd be surprised what the govt. can actually do...
However, the thermal and visual orbital imaging they can do is pretty slick - I've heard of some examples (i.e. read a license plate from geostationary orbit). However, you'd be hard pressed to have that used to find you, unless you're a military target. Keep those nuclear warheads out of your FD.

FDNewbie is correct.
ALL cell phones have a "GPS LOCATOR" in them that you can turn on or off. If you choose to turn it off, you can still be tracked. All the phone companies say "...ONLY 911 will be able to track you... in an emergency"
this does work whether your phone is on or off.
as for the "GOESYNCRONOUS" orbit... BROKEN93 is correct. THEY ARE WATCHING

I unlocked the door with my key and opened it and the audible alarm did not sound. Now the sending unit could have a backup power source, but the alarm runs off the battery.

Thanks for the updated info.
