Relax. Most Europeans don't care about the EU either. Those bastards almost pushed through a USA-like software patent model and they just passed that hidious data rentention law.
No ports, no IP's. The folks who came up with this don't think that far.
They think that: - e-mail is just like phone - spam does not exist - ISP's only handle private traffic - ISP's handle ALL traffic, and have full access to it - Only EU citizens use ISPs in Europe - Encryption does not exist - No-one has his own mailserver - No-one is going to try to make money by offering tunneling services to non-EU countries - Terrorists are dumber than they are
It's not that they want every ISP to scan all packets. They're just thinking like lusers. They think internet is managable.
Their plan sucks. It doesn't work, it's leaking like a raincloud, it's unconstitutional for a lot of member states, and they bombard ISPs with costs, work and responsibilities they never asked for and they KNOW is bullcrap.
Chimps don't need to carry around this enormous amount of culture. The following-rituals-instinct probably increases the chance on survival and reproduction within a human society.
