Actually, I HIGHLY disagree. User security should be of utmost importance. I don't mind clicking 'GPS' in useful switchers, then having it open a dialog where I click one more time to prevent apps from 'secretly' logging my position.
One of the things I like most about Android are the security features. Install an app that wants my location? Nope. It wants access to my contacts? Heaven forbid! I can understand your point about not liking the extra step required, but I feel it's well-worth the security implications. A possible compromise might be allowing the user to specify automatic access if they don't care about security. Thanks to all the Google engineers for this fix.
