Could go either way, would depend somewhat on how the Danger Sense is defined for the character. Since with Telecontrol, the character is not themselves endangered by the death of a possessed host, I would argue that the basic advantage would apply to threats to the unconscious body, but I would allow a PC to define it as following the consciousness around instead. I would also allow a character to use it for both as a +50% enhancement (same as Telecontrol).

By the RAW, Danger Sense is a Mental trait, so it will follow the mind of the owning character. That should mean that danger to the mind's current residence (the body being controlled, in the case of someone with Telecontrol) is what should be detected.
