It is irresponsible to the people who don't even know you that risk their lives to find you. Just like people who do stupid things and want the rescue team to save them. All it takes is a few bucks. There are a few technologies that are required to fly responsibly in today's world, none which are required by the FAA. Radios, Transponders, Trackers, PFlarm. Anybody flying XC or in dense traffic area with out these is irresponsible and is self centered. There is no good excuse. This is serious business and it is only a matter of time before it becomes law to leave the ground. Stupid actions by irresponsible pilots will speed the process.

Pilots that spend money on electronic gadgets in the delusion of safety are the stupid ones.
