Shades of George Orwell.
Of course some nutso people want to do that, but what will they do with all of this data.
Hire a million people to sift through it?
Prosecute a million offenders in courts?
Build several thousand more jails to alleviate the already overburdened penal system?
I agree it is an atrocity in the making, but in my part of the world criminals walk out of court every day with a slap on the wrist after being found guilty of some pretty serious crimes.
And of course the serious criminal/terrorist types of people will use disposable phones and USB network adapters so their MAC address will change and avoid talking about their evil plans in hearing distance of their intelligent appliances.
