Not to forget the people who still bank on the reasoning - Why should I care, I have nothing to hide.

I am sure everyone of these people will object to a routine daily search of their house to make sure that they are not responsible for the occasional neighbourhood burglary.

"I am sure everyone of these people will object to a routine daily search of their house"

It's a good analogy because the usual argument for mass surveillance applies here too. By massively searching houses, we may find a few dangerous criminals and lives would be saved!
