Which, in reality, is tracking of internet activity. With the right software, all they need is your IP to track down everything you've done. Everything you do leaves a digital footprint, so it's only a matter of a little effort to track that footprint all over cyberspace. To me, that's the same as using my phone number to tap in and listen to my conversations.

Which they can do if they get a warrant. And for the government to USE the data, they still need a warrant.
