Like what for example? Oh and dont worry about them seeing you answer that - they will never de-code our usernames. Lol
Seriously - im not a big fan of the govrrnment for alot of reasons, but other than their "primary mission" any other theories are a tad bit paranoid futuristic robots enslaving the human race for me. They can catalog whatever the hell they want. Im not hiding anything.
Edit: bottom line is that the "nothing to hide" article is based on the premise that the government is concerned with the everyday life of - well - me? Even if they did catch me whacking off to granny porn, what the hell are they going to do put a snapshot of it up in times square? Let em. Lol. The whole big brother thing is so 1984.
