I'm having trouble convincing my friends why the NSA surveillance is such a big deal. Can one of you please provide a solid and thorough answer to the statement "If you aren't doing anything wrong, you have nothing to hide"?

A lot of my friends and people I know have this mindset of "well I'm not a terrorist, so why does this matter to me?" Can you provide some messaging in response to both of those lines please?

Thanks for the thorough response. I really like your points and especially this one:

Just ask them to turn over their passwords to you so you can publish their emails on the Internet. They'll naturally recoil in horror.
