To all the people and law enforcement officials that live by the "if you don't have anything to hide, you shouldn't worry about your privacy", I say that's your very own and primitive explanation. I hide/encrypt/lock my stuff because I DO NOT TRUST you in handling my private info and therefore my life. Most government org cannot keep their own stuff private, not to mention my personal info. Same applies to a lock on my house: I do not lock my door because I sit at home and build an atomic bomb and do not wont officials to know about it; I lock my door because you (LE) do a pathetic job at keeping my house safe from burglars. As I keep repeating, next 911 will not come in form of six people stealing our planes, on our airports hitting our buildings; it will come from Chinese/other government hackers stealing our own data, neatly stored and organized in our NSA's locker-rooms. And that's why its a horror idea for anyone to have all information on entire nation, within one database (I know its bit more complicated than that). As the nation and most others based its order on organized information, you can imagine entire country on a full economical lockdown, once all your credit card, all your social security info and all your data leaks out to third parties/pirates. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing_to_hide_argument http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing_to_hide_argument
