I don't think this is devil's advocate arguing.. There's a slippery slope from what you describe to the concept of "thought crime", which sounds hokey and conspiracy-ish but given the level of surveillance we have, we're not that far off.

Thought crime already exists for a long time already. Planning to commit murder (thinking about it) is punished nearly as harshly as succeeding. Is it really so controversial?
