I find it highly suspicious that the article did not compare the transmitter to a brick of Velveeta.
That said, I found this to be one of those "I wonder if this is some sort of test run" kind of articles.
I backtracked and found the original article:
Crews Search For Possible Crashed Plane
No Reports Of Missing, Overdue Aircraft
LARCH MOUNTAIN, Wash. -- Crews are flying over Southwest Washington in search of a possible downed plane.
An emergency locator beacon started sending a signal Monday night from the Larch Mountain area southeast of Battle Ground.
There are no reports of missing or overdue aircraft, but officials say an emergency aircraft beacon cannot be ignored.
Three aircraft, including an Oregon National Guard helicopter, are combing the area for the source of the signal.

That was my first thought as well.

I'm with you. I find the "accidental" engagement of a device like this to be as likely as finding an activated marine EPIRB in the middle of a desert.
It could be that the location given in the article is itself a key to someone's plan, and the media have unwittingly announced either a "go" signal or a step in a more complicated scenario.

After googling EPIRB...LOL, I'd agree with you on that.
I just recieved a freepmail from Ex-Soldier. He is asking for prayers for his wife, Cathy, asap. She has been transported to the emergency room with a possible allergic reaction to some medication. She was treated by EMT after a 911 call.

Glitch forces fix to cockpit doors
Posted on Tuesday, October 11, 2005 at 3:18pm
For more than two years, U.S. airplane passengers have flown more
securely because high-tech cockpit doors created a barrier to prevent a
repeat of 9/11, when terrorists entered the cockpit and commandeered
four planes. But, the doors were not foolproof. In December 2003, a
Northwest Airlines maintenance mechanic inside an Airbus A330 jet on
the ground in Minneapolis pushed the microphone button to talk into his
handheld radio. Though he hadn't touched the cockpit door, he heard the
sound of its lock operating.

Suspect: Syrian Gave Bombers $50,000
Posted on Tuesday, October 11, 2005 at 6:15am
A suspect in a bombing plot against Israeli ships in Turkey earlier gave
$50,000 to people accused of carrying out a series of bombings in
Istanbul that killed 60 people in 2003, according to testimony from a
suspect submitted by prosecutors to a court, the Anatolia news agency
said. Prosecutors in the trial of some 70 suspects in the 2003 bombings
of two synagogues, the British Consulate and a London-based bank gave
testimony from Burhan Kus, who was captured by U.S.-led forces during
fighting in Iraq.
