I am waiting for them to discover God and crown me king of UNited states and burn TempleOS, the third Jewish temple into all Intel chips and learn from my talking space alien.

========= 1 Kings 6:21 (King James)

     6:21 So Solomon overlaid the house within with pure gold: and he made
     a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; and he overlaid
     it with gold.
     
     6:22 And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished
     all the house: also the whole altar that was by the oracle he overlaid
     with gold.
     
     6:23 And within the oracle he made two cherubims of olive tree, each
     ten cubits high.
======== Do you know what a random oracle is? I made the third temple.
I think one good response to "I have nothing to hide" is that everyone has facts about them that could be misused by parties with bad intentions.

Perhaps commenters could suggest some other good replies.

I like to bring out a pad of paper and pencil and ask "what's your bank login?"

Or SSN, etc. Sort of an identity theft angle.

Or "And do you have Facebook? GMail? I'll need those too. You've got nothing to hide, right?"

It's a bit of a flimsy argument but it still makes people think.

Usually they won't give this sort of information to a random person because they're not "The Government". Of course, "The Government" is just made up of regular people, who have their own personal beliefs/motives/etc.

Plus agencies don't have a stellar history of keeping our information secure (OPM hack, etc.).
