I may have nothing to hide, but I have absolutely NOTHING I want any govt to see.

I wouldn't want people to know what financial transactions I had in 2008, not because they were suspicious, but because the type of person who wants to know should scare anyone. Imagine if someone came up to you and listed every grocery item you bought in the last ten years I would be very concerned.
