More than likely, it could in theory. The identification information of each ipod is directly connected to a single iTunes account. Thus why if you try to play a song registered to someone else's account, you get an error.
However, I'm sure there are privacy concerns in place, along with iTunes/iPod being proprietary software/hardware. When you connect an iPod to the computer, it's nothing more than a thumb drive, as your PC is concerned.
Apple has incorporated this in their "MobileMe" software for the iPhone. If you lost your phone, you can connect to the web via another laptop and send messages to the phone and pull up a google map that shows the GPS location.
