The privacy curve

"If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear."

I'm getting sick of seeing this argument. How many times does it have to be rebuked?

Dear Scott Adams,

Please host an archive of any personal emails you may still have. I'm sure everyone would have a lot to learn about you by doing so. You have nothing to hide, right?

Oh... your argument was specifically "the government" and not "the people"? Do you mind telling me who (or what?) the government is made of?
