I reject your rehashing of "I've done nothing wrong, so I have nothing to hide." This thread is full of examples of things which many may find innocuous now, but some may also disagree with, and may use as grounds to persecute in the future.

A person of interest is when you patch the kernel and linus says okay- and the NSA wants to talk about gay porn in the mormon cafe down the street

they would rather find a bit of dirt on law abiding citizens than the 3000 terrorists they already have a list of.

Did you just reply to your own comment?

yes, rather than edit the original
