The possibility for abuse is immense, surely those with the most to hide are already smart enough to use non-contract phones, but the idea that every second of our lives is being tracked is a truly unwanted intrusion. I'm sure that the benefits don't outweight the disadvantages, and pedophiles and terrorists have become an alarmist call to justify any intrusion to our lives
