I didn't even define 'Orwellian', you're assuming too much. I've been to Japan and had to have my fingerprinted and face scan and was not happy about it.
In the US, only criminals are lumped in with that. Saying "What do you have to hide?" is one of the most ridiculous statements I've ever heard. Go ahead and go through one of them full body scans their putting in England and other major US cities. The ones were someone is allowed to see your naked body.
The "nothing to hide" argument is only for sheeple.
I have nothing to hide but governments shouldn't treat their citizens or visitors like criminals and slaves. Especially the US government seeing its a direct violation of the 4th Amendment.
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
This is why people pissed and moaned about the Patriot Act... This shit in the US is ILLEGAL.
