It's a well thought out & written article.

But, we still need a much shorter retort to use in conversation, than trying to discuss all of the points in that article.

Maybe:

"Well, if you think privacy is only for criminals, then you wouldn't mind if me and my friends, and your boss, all ride home with you tonight, & spend the night watching you sleep & all the stuff before that, right? Can your bathroom fit us all? If not, please pay some taxes to support that surveillance need. We'll be there every night from now on. See? Privacy is about "not being watched", not about "hiding crimes".

You don't do anything strange in the bathroom right? So I'd like to have a camera fitted facing the pan. It's not like you do anything the rest of us don't, and there has been a problem of people illegally flushing refuse down the sewer. This monitoring camera can ensure that you're an upright member of society and everything is OK.
