If I have footsie pajamas on my bed, I'm going to try and stop someone from going into my room. People have secrets, and they are often completely legal secrets. But they're still secrets, something you're hiding. So not wanting a camera in your living room doesn't mean that it's because you're cooking meth in it, or that you're planning terrorism.

Only if you can trust the authority in question.

People knowing that you wear footsie pajamas isn't a strictly bad thing, but that doesn't mean everyone would want to voluntarily divulge that information.

You won't be so facetious when the government outlaws your favourite kind of porn. That's what our freedoms are about.

Which I think we all value, here.
