Re: Millennials

I had a boss once who espoused the "I have nothing to hide" line too once.

I replied "Oh cool - in that case, please can I see your internet history, your bank statement and can I get the long number across the middle of your card and your pin please?"

He didn't like it - don't worry, he was a d1ck

It all comes down the difference between privacy and secrecy. He may indeed have had no need for secrecy but he would probably prefer at least a few things to remain private. In some cases you are bound by terms of service to keep things private such as your card PIN - good luck convincing a bank that you shouldn't have to hide anything and that they should pay for your indiscretion
