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.

The "nothing to hide" argument is not for sheeple, by swinging your arms and saying "I want to keep my worthless fingerprints secret" what you are doing is allowing criminals to keep that a secret, and for them their fingerprints are VERY valuable.
I'd rather be getting on a plane that is screening out potentially dangerous individuals rather than putting them on blindly because some people didn't want to share their precious fingerprints.
