***A secret government invites abuse of our rights.***

“If you’re not talking to terrorist then you have nothing to worry about unless you’re naturally paranoid then you probably worry all the time anyway.”

Okay, so I’m paranoid. So were the guys who wrote the Bill of Rights. They just didn’t trust the government very much. It doesn’t have a very good track record when it comes to abusing its powers to spy on people, does it?

If you’re not talking to [a] terrorist then you have nothing to worry about...

Have you tried applying this logic to rights you do care about? It amazes me that people still use this "if you have nothing to hide" argument.
