What do they have to hide? What are they doing wrong?

Question

People who don't like the NSA surveillance program. What do they have to hide?

Answer 1

I believe in the right to privacy for the average citizen...but it does make you wonder if some (ONLY SOME) of the ones protesting have secrets they are hiding...hmmmmm

Answer 2

I don't know what they have to hide, but I don't think that that is the issue.

Or Constitution gives us the right to be free of illegal searches and siezures. Even if you are Conservative (I am too), you still are probably not anti-Bill of Rights.

There is very little difference between some of the NSA surveillance techniques and a policeman having the right to walk into your house and search it without consent or due process.

Even though I am not hiding anything, I don't want the government to have the right to enter my house without my consent. What I do within the walls of my house is none of their business, BECAUSE I am not doing anything wrong.

Our Bill of Rights is based on protection of the innocent, even sometimes at the expense of the guilty remaining free.

This is the issue: You don't have to be hiding something to value your privacy.

Answer 3

Since you ask, what does Dick Cheney have to hide. If this program is so benevolent, why won't he turn over documents to the senate oversight committee?

Answer 4

You don't /need/ to have anything to hide to value your privacy.
