>Yeah, that's how you make friends. Certainly not into government spying but this is a ridiculous comparison.

I disagree. The wording might not be perfect, but the comparison is sound imho.

Potential friends aren't typically total strangers. You are usually at least considered aquaintances at first. And potential friends don't typically go "looking around" your home on the first visit, either. They're usually quite respectful of your privacy from what I have gathered over the years.

They don't just get up and search for a bathroom, they'll ask you where it is.
