I think it's less fear of the unknown, more the fact that we've recently opened the Pandora's box of surveillance (in the public consciousness at least) and we know that this device will step up the pervasiveness by another large factor. People are uneasy, and to write this off simply as silly ignorance or lack of imagination is, I think, rather patronising.
