I think what bothers me is...
If you defined my neighborhood broadly, there are probably one or two homes with kiddy porn in them. And the police can't just come through the whole neighborhood and toss the houses until they find one with porn. No matter how worthy the goal, they can't violate your privacy without just cause.
Yet now they've just found a new way in your house. Not your windows and not your doors, but your cell phones and internet connections.
I've always been too paranoid to even have a wireless phone in my house, and I make sure I am careful what I say on cell phones, and I am careful where I visit on the internet. But that's the point. I don't think it's right that you have to feel that way about your government. It's bad enough to fear the civilians with scanners.
