It's nice to see that someone had already posted this. I was planning on posting this but had procrastinated a bit more than usual.

<FONT face="ARIAL, HELVETICA">
			In this short essay, written for a symposium in the San Diego Law Review, Professor Daniel Solove examines the "nothing to hide" argument.  When asked about government surveillance and data mining, many people respond by declaring: "I've got nothing to hide."  According to the "nothing to hide" argument, there is no threat to privacy unless the government uncovers unlawful activity, in which case a person has no legitimate justification to claim that it remain private.  The "nothing to hide" argument and its variants are quite prevalent, and thus are worth addressing.  In this essay, Solove critiques the "nothing to hide" argument and exposes its faulty underpinnings. </FONT><P>
