I agree. Even being considered of doing something bad can easily be life-changing - going by the example of celebrities, for one. One of the secrets of the nothing to hide argument is, I think, that people haven't experience a thorough search on them, by some authority. The situation where one "lives or dies" according to what they find, and especially, on how they interpret it. If not exposed to this, it's much easier to think that it won't happen to them, that they're not the type to be exposed to things like this.
