What's up with new cars and the auto locking doors?

Am I the only one who hates riding in a 4 door car because now that automakers have gone to the auto-locking doors, every time I ride in the back of the car I get locked inside. I'm not talking about the child safety locks, I am talking about the "anti-carjacking or whyever the hell else they did it" system. Are there any cars out there that give you the choice, kinda like how you can shut off the passenger airbags in trucks? I know there is a lot of operator error and I'm sure many of you are saying "why doesn't he just manually unlock the door before he opens it" and that is very easy to say but when you are actually in the car, you forget once the driver parks that your door is locked or better yet, you are in the front passenger seat with let's say some groceries in the back seat and you get out of the car, go to open the rear door and it is locked. Then you have to open the front passenger door again and hit the unlock all button to open the freaking rear door. Ok...I'm done...can anyone guess that I just rode in the rear passenger space of somebody's car when I went to lunch....
