I foresee legal hassles, though I like the suggestion that any

There's not really much in the way of room for anything serious like
that to identify an iPod. They're presented as UMS devices, so there's
not a special protocol in use. I believe they do make some sort of
custom inquiry, but, and again I'm working from memory here, it's known
what's in it and not encrypted.
