Hasn't anyone heard of the anonymous browsers. Even the ISP has a hell of a time finding out where you have been. The system bounces you around servers in countries that don't care about the EU and won't respond to their warrants.

As for the cell phones, any fool who thought they weren't being monitored already has his head in the sand. I forget the name of the company in Jersey, but in archives cell records on a national basis for "marketing and research" purposes already.

[BureaucratusMaximus]

Ah yes...the slippery slope of socialism.

Just one big happy family...
