Now NuLabour wants to monitor all internet traffic and mobile phone usage.
Home secretary Jacqui Smith is quited as saying
"There are no plans for an enormous database which will contain the content of your emails, the texts that you send or the chats you have on the phone or online"
which almost certainly means that this is precisely what they *do* have in mind.

Information on times and dates of mobile phone calls, text messages and websites visited are already stored by the telecomms companies for 12 months as part of a voluntary code, but that's not enough apparently.
Apparently the plods need these extra powers in order to combat, amongst other things, terrorism. Good old terrorism, eh? Seems like you can use the threat of the 'T' word to get pretty much anything through parliament these days...
