Or looks extra hard for any technicality felonies you commit unwittingly in your professional career as reprisal if you speak out against their abuses. So maybe you might want some privacy now?&lt;p&gt;Also, I guess you won&amp;#x27;t mind publishing all of your passwords, physical location at all times, never wearing clothes, living in a transparent house and being video and audio recorded 24x7 either. (Yes, it&amp;#x27;s unreasonably absurd ad infinitum.) Still not wanting any privacy? How about other people can have as much privacy as they want, and stay the heck off my lawn? ;-P</text></comment>

I suppose you would be ok, then, with a police officer tailing you &lt;i&gt;everywhere&lt;/i&gt; you go, recording everything you do, everywhere you go, everything you say, and to whom, peering in the windows of your home if you forget to keep your blinds drawn? Just in case that information happens to be useful to &lt;i&gt;a&lt;/i&gt; government at some point in the future?</text></comment>
