These guys (the governments) won't be happy until they can scan everyone's body, house, email, car, driving patterns, postal mail, financial, verbal conversations and thoughts. And record it all in the new NSA super computer complex so that they can do back searches over years of information looking for patterns of people who are not under their control. Yeah what we need now is Thought Police, come on George (Orwell), tell the government how to train the Thought Police. Oh, yeah you already did (1984).

PS All of the above are either already implemented or have technology already existing:

• body - TSA airport body scanners. Argentina is implementing a national ID based on fingerprints and face scanning of all citizens. All non US citizens are fingerprinted and face/iris scanned on entering the country - it is probable that this will be extended to US citizens and residents in the future.
• house - warrentless "sneak and peak" searches
• email - NSA and ISP scans
• phone - warrantless phone taps and cell phone tower dumps
• street - there are over 4 million video cameras in London, many of which can identify car license plates and faces
• car - GSP bugs for cars plus of course your smart phone GSP. US local police are using car license plate scanners to track and store car movements of all cars on certain roads, with information passed on to a central federal database in Virgina
• postal mail - well they say they still need a warrant for this scanning but they can record all the to and from addresses on your mail without a warrant already
• finances - all "suspicious" transactions are reported by banks to the US government, and in addition bank staff are under a quota system to report a certain number each month. It is likely that all bank and credit card transactions are being recorded by NSA. Under the FACTA and HIRE laws banks worldwide are required to report US citizen's financial accounts held abroad under penalty of a 30% withholding on all wires to/from that bank whether to a US citizen or a foreign citizen. Cash purchases of gold over $10k are reported. In Spain paying cash for anything over 2500 Euros is illegal. In Argentina you now need to fill out a government form to get permission to buy foreign currency and must report all goods bought with a credit card abroad including on ebay and amazon.
• verbal conversations - Canadian government installed microphones in its airports to record all conversations there. I imagine the US won't be far behind
• thoughts - laser chemical detectors and face pattern scanners can tell if you are nervous or are hiding other emotions etc at airport and other scanning locations
