Hi Horgad, I have everything to hide, but I have done nothing illegal! I don't deal drugs or counterfeit money, heck I don't even DO drugs. I don't even drink alcohol. I have no criminal need to hide what I'm doing. But I still want my transactions to be private. Why? Because I feel violated if my privacy is infringed upon. I don't like the idea of my life becoming an open book for someone to scrutinize, even if that someone is a government official with the authority to do so. I may not be doing anything wrong now, but what if something is seen as wrong in the future is something that I have done? When people were going to the 'new communist rallies' in the fifties, they had no idea that they would later become targets for paranoid prosecutors. Many simply went out of curiosity. Most had no ill will toward this country at all. But many were prosecuted and lives were destroyed in what the 'government' thought was a reasonable course of action for that time. As long as I don't hurt anyone, I hope to retain my right to privacy. Sorry for the rant, but I do feel strongly about privacy.
