The claim "I have nothing to hide so I don't care," is actually the claim that privacy is not intrinsically valuable.
I think you can absolutely use an intensive action to show that lesser ones are objectionable.
"If privacy is not important in itself, why are you covering your body with underwear and pants? Why don't you put cameras throughout your house, including your bedroom?"
Clearly our actions reveal that we DO think privacy is important in itself. What "I have nothing to hide" really means is "I have not yet been personally affected, so I don't care." It's apathy, not a value statement.
