Don't have time to address it with the detail it deserves, but I suspect that legal precedent would not permit scanning a person or home under any circumstances where something like a normal search, or X-raying that person, would not be permitted (I'm not sure if you can even scan a house from a street and make it work. I can barely get my wireless phone to work from the street, and it's got juice in it.)
One of what I am sure are many such cases and precedents can be found here, where thermal scanning of houses to detect marijuana farms was ruled illegal.
I am well aware that my choices on Amazon, or my Safeway Card purchases, say something about my habits and are used by both outfits to market their stuff to me, but both were free choices I deliberately made. I suspect "sneaky" applications of product chip data will not go over well in the courts.
At least your speculations on use of chips implanted in products are realistic ones.
