From a Wikia contributor:
 * "So if you have nothing to hide and are not doing anything illegal, can we all see your record of people you call, your banking information, your private phone calls? How about your medical records?  Social Security Number?  There are plenty of reasons to desire privacy."

Erm, you are forgetting, this is the government you are talking about. They already have your social security number. Why would they care about your banking info (your few thousand dollars is nothing compared to their trillions of dollars in debt), and likewise with your personal medical record? If anything, a copy of your medical record being kept somewhere like that could actually be useful if your life was in danger. You don't want to be lying there dying and having nobody there to save you because they can't access your medical files and find out what's wrong! And honestly, do you really think they give two hoots about your personal phone calls? Sure, collecting them is probably a waste of time and money, but there is no real negative to you to have them stored in the back of a large computer bank full of phone calls. Unless, of course you do something illegal and get called into court and they search your data banks for evidence! So, the moral of the story is, don't do anything very illegal, and you will be fine.
