"I have nothing to hide" counter arguments
With todays surveillance mania by our oh so beloved governments there is this one big argument cropping up everywhere in favor of surveillance. Its the "I have got nothing to hide" one that uninformed mom and pop spout out in repetition to propaganda mass media brainwash.
I personally usually just say "not at the moment", because what you do today might be illegal tomorrow with a neonaziconservative regime ruling earth.
But since that convinces only some smart people there is more ammunition needed.
Some of that come in a form of a PDF from Professor Daniel Solove.
My favorite is still the the "You have curtains? Yes? Well then it seems you have something to hide!"
There is also a nice slashdot thread about it.
