So they're talking about allowing traffic analysis. No actual data 
content, just what you looked at and when.

It's rather worrying that anyone "official enough" would be able to 
browse through any data they want without needing a warrant. But beyond 
that, I suspect whoever suggested this doesn't quite comprehend the 
volume of data we're talking about here. The daft thing is, the 
technically sophisticated criminals these measures are purportedly 
supposed to catch will easily get around them, so it affects only naive 
innocent citizens.

I gather last time somebody proposed this, it didn't get very far due to 
massive opposition. I expect the same thing to happen with this one.

TL;DR.

Some employers are arseholes. Don't work for them.

If some employer wanted access to my personal data, I would simply 
refuse. If that means they don't hire me, that's their loss, not mine, IMHO.
