Interesting, but isn't that why we have MAC addresses on network cards? Yes, you might say, but MAC addresses can be spoofed and you would be correct. But by adding another identification method to devices, you would just add another number/method that can be spoofed and therefore the Trusted Model would only track the majority and NOT those it was designed to catch, the criminals...

So its all fine and well talking about trusted this or that, but at the end the criminals finds a gap and then its the average person that has to fight for his right to privacy.
