The big reason I don't want someone else scanning my phone (and a year later, my laptop) is that last I checked, software is not perfect, and I don't need the FBI getting called on me cause my browser cache smelled funny to some Apple PhD's machine-learning decision.

It's the same reason I don't want police having any opportunistic information about me - both of these have an agenda, and so innocent people get pulled into scenarios they shouldn't be when that information becomes the unlucky best-fit of the day.

That Apple has even suggested this is disturbing because I have to fully expect this is their vision for every device I am using.

And then I expect from there, it's a race to the bottom until we treat our laptops like they are all live microphones.
