How would you expect a device that is turned off, and as such not active or connected to anything to be traced?
When the iPhone is off, its a nice shiny brick.
How would you track a brick?

I have the same question Tgod.
And the answer remains the same, both here and in your other thread on the question: if it's turned off, there's no way for the iPhone to communicate its location by any method. How else could it be located? Magic?
