When I buy a ticket to go somewhere it's no one's business to know where I'm going. I don't have the imagination to see how the information can be abused, but the potential is there. If you don't need to know you have no business asking. That's all.

- HarryHirsch 13y agoWhen I buy a bus ticket at the counter with cash to go from here to there it's no one's business to know that I'm even on that bus. But even then they ask for a drivers license. I find it strange to see people on Hacker News post-Snowden defend the nothing-to-hide mindset.
