From the New Hampshire Constitution (Part 1, Article 2-b - Right of Privacy):

>"An individual's right to live free from governmental intrusion in private or personal information is natural, essential, and inherent."

As an Illinoisan who left 23 years ago for work in California, worked a summer in Massachusetts, now in Arizona, i think the answer is Antarctica.
