It is.<p>I&#x27;ve always countered with &quot;So, you&#x27;d be okay if a government agent was watching you have sex with your wife? Every time it happened? For the next 10 years?&quot;<p>You&#x27;re doing nothing wrong, nothing bad will come of it, but that question always brings that awkward pause: that realization that &quot;wait a second, privacy IS important even if I&#x27;m not doing anything wrong.&quot;<p>As a side note, people hide things from other people all the time. That&#x27;s what people do. None of us would like it if all of our insecurities, resentments, any negative thought were exposed to others. In my opinion, those who say they have nothing to hide, are either profoundly ignorant of their selves, or simply lying to themselves and others, i.e. my job depends on me believing and extolling this untruth.
