Well IANAL, but I'm happy with that. Doesn't it then bring us to where we are with all other matters - wiretaps, breaking into a home with a search warrant? L

Well IANAL, but I'm happy with that. Doesn't it then bring us to where we are with all other matters - wiretaps, breaking into a home with a search warrant? Law enforcement has to get suspicion of a crime, probable cause, a warrant or what have you and be subject to all the assorted checks and balances the justice system has evolved. That's vastly different to having all internet activity tied to an IP/account/person in vast, ever increasing, NSA/GCHQ/lots of other databases then going on a big back trawl every time a name comes up.
