Which brings up the privacy point.  Anything getting this fancy and 
convoluted in terms of implementation is going to have to be very careful 
to narrow the scope of what it's looking at, lest it become the NSA in 
terms of dragnet.  Even then, how many people would REALLY trust it, 
knowing the lengths to which it has to go to narrow down and focus in on 
JUST the info it needs?  I don't think I'd trust it, for the same reason 
I don't trust the NSA doing similar things under "just trust us" 
pretenses.  Would YOU? (Granted, our implementation would presumably be 
open, something the NSA most certainly is NOT, but still...)
