It will end up as a very expensive database containing spam and encrypted emails. No cctv camera/data collection system will stop those determined to do wrong it will just penalize honest people. Only good thing is that no more government emails can be lost/misplaced!!! when they should have been released to a court etc..

This would cost ISP's probably more than they could afford without vast charge increases to keep entire record of every single communication for years. I imagine a governments centralised implementation would initially be estimated to be affordable and practical in the outset, as tendered by some dodgy company owned by the uncle's son of the politician in charge of the project; quickly spiralling into an endless money pit of infinite problems and setbacks through multiple administrations. Of course, there would be hundreds of cases of people having access to this great central database and using it for blackmail, manipulation of texts etc. to incriminate and god knows what else. I'd imagine the police and politicians and those connected with supposedly looking after Queen and country will be the first to use it for their evil ends.. Just how many 'terrorists' have been caught with all this invasive technology so far and is it worth maybe saving a comparative handful of lives across the globe if we are all constantly under extreme surveillance? I don't buy the "If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear" BS myself.. A number of obvious stumbling blocks come to mind.
