Supreme Court affirms that those with nothing to hide need not fear surveillance, while emphasizing citizens' right to privacy.

This is in India, but coming soon to a country near you (or the one you are in already).

Back in the late 90s when people started saying that to me, I’d just say ok, get naked RIGHT NOW. What, now you’ve got something to hide?

A few people took me seriously from that but it usually just fell short.

It isn’t the best way to say it. A better way is ‘show me all your electrical bills from the past . Months, also I want to know how much you weigh right now and I want you to tell me again in three months’.

It will be just as offensive but carry more weight. Also if they blow up in your face just calmly reply with ‘what? Is there something wrong? Maybe your health is declining and your job needs to be taken by a healthier person? Are you running a growing operation? Is that why your electric bill struck a nerve?’
