There's a difference between "natural rights" (rights that are not dependent on the laws or customs of any particular culture or government) and what you describe. The type of right you describe is capricious and whimsical.
GP was complaining that airport travelers don't have privacy. So it seems like people are asking for it.
Can you name some places you believe right to privacy should not apply?

- PeterisP 6y agoPrivacy (at least some form of it) is generally considered one of the key "natural rights" that all people have. Both the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (https://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/index.html https://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/ind...) and EU Convention of Human Rights (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_8_of_the_European_Convention_on_Human_Rights https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_8_of_the_European_Conv...) include privacy as one of the unalienable human rights.
