Ok.  I wonder whether text along this line in the last paragraph

Although I don't think the BCP needs to explicitly deal with
"beneficial surveillance," Andrew's statement above gets closer to how
I have been thinking about this tension: Rather than "consent" or some
oft-problematic bright line good/bad attack determination, I think
it's more about "surveillance that works in the interests of the user
or, alternatively, against those interests."
