This is clearly a case of something that doesn't have any effect on 99.9% of people, but is very inconvenient for the.1% of people that are impacted by it.
So basically, there's a freakin' huge ocean floating around (well, falling into a black hole) out in the middle of space? I submit that space is awesome.
I admittedly didn't RTFA but I don't see anything in the summary that suggests that anyone is planning to use this without a warrant. If MS or the police try to, that's still wiretapping and still illegal; but just developing the technology isn't inherently illegal or worrisome. Granted, that's assuming that the technology won't be abused...
Yes, because they would have searched her, just as they actually did, and found that she wasn't carrying explosives.

Finally, it sets the precedent that all our public activity is subject to being recorded and publicized. You can argue that we don't have a right right to privacy on a public street, but if we only have privacy in lead-shielded basement, with no communication or anything else passing in or out, we really don't have privacy at all.
You can also argue that you have absolutely no right to privacy when you are blatantly committing serious crimes (e.g. assault & battery, destruction of property, etc.) in public streets.

Two different police departments aren't necessarily going to handle things the same way.
The Wii can at least play DVDs.
