And perhaps they won't discover evidence that you are a terrorist but if you aren't but they may well discover evidence that you are oh, homosexual, or behind on your child support payments, or taking antidepressants, or that you have a warrant for unpaid parking tickets somewhere that you are not aware of. Most people do prefer their privacy. And as the Nixon WHite House demonstrated, there are a lot of ways the federal government can harass the average citizen if the average citizen should annoy them. Look what they did to Joseph Wilson, for a start.
