    Ah, the classic “nothing to hide” response.

    How did that quote go again? “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime”? Even things you think may be innocuous can and will be used against you if given reason to.

      Or alternatively privacy matters even for those with nothing to hide. Everyone knows how your kid was made, but you don’t want just anyone to see.

      I have plenty to hide I just don’t do those things texting on my phone. That section is very boring. Compartmentalize people.
