My goto response when someone says "I have nothing to hide" is to ask them to hand me their phone unlocked so that I can go through their messages, pictures and financial stuff.

This usually does the trick of reminding them that you do have things to hide.

That’s actually a good one! I’ll do that too from now and see their response.
