This idea has been investigated before.
Dorothy Denning calls it "the grounding of cyberspace"
There is a chapter on this coauthored by her and Peter MacDoran in the book edited by Peter Denning.
Title of the paper is Location-Based Authentication: Grounding Cyberspace for Better Security
This idea is also explained in her book Information Warfare. The idea is using GPS signatures which are not forward-predictable. As other posters pointed out, that only proves the existence/access to GPS receiver located at some point and time not necessarily the presence of the *individual* there.
