Most glider owners flying cross country have done the responsible thing by voluntarily installing a transponder. Too bad the glider pilot in the Minden midair didn't have his on; we might not be having this conversation. Frankly it makes sense for gliders above 10,000 MSL to have transponders if not flying locally. I am not sold on FLARM though at all.
