I've got stuff I don't want to be public, but at the same time I'm not going to spend thousands and thousands of dollars on security measures to protect it because it'll probably never be required, and it probably won't work anyway.
Having a pin code longer than four digits is probably more than enough to effectively deter the average cop, and they are all I am ever really anticipating interacting with, if at all. If I decide to take up terrorism as a hobby I may reconsider.
Yeah I think those of us who go to extra lengths for security mostly do it because we can. Like any other enthusiast.
For the record, that's as fine as any other hobby, as far as I'm concerned. Just as I don't have any issues with... you know, survivalism as a hobby.
On the aggregate, though, there IS a bit of a prepper power fantasy at play, I stand by that. Hey, I have tons of hobbies myself where I find the collective average lands in a super creepy place. If anything I think it's a relief to acknowledge it. Gives you plausible deniability.
I know what you mean. I have plenty of interests the fan base of which I don't really align with.
