It's trite, but saying you don't care about privacy rights because you have nothing to hide is like saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.

Just correct them more blatantly:

I dont care about the fourth amendment, I have nothing to hide.

That's very well said... quotable even.
Yeah and I called it "trite" because I thought it was well worn at this point and that is b.s. on my part that I regret. I first heard this from Edward Snowden:

and I don't think he's trite at all.
