Yeah, but by the time the world hits population density of Japan, we'll all be eating vat-burgers that collected on the PETA award for growing meat. So yeah, even if/when the world hits Japan's pop density, we might still have a lot of room to grow.
If you do a reasonable scrubbing of the drive with random data, the FBI can still tell what was on it before. The person who buys your computer will likely not have the same forensics teams at their disposal that the FBI does though, so to a common individual, that data is gone.
Actually, once you finally see the picture you might say "Actually, that doesn't look too bad". I mean, the drive is still in one piece, straight, and devoid of any knife wounds. I'm sure you could make it look worse and still have it recoverable by the FBI.
Privacy is not freedom...
Freedom as from Dictionary.com: exemption from external control, interference, regulation, etc.
Privacy as from Dictionary.com: the state of being free from intrusion or disturbance in one's private life or affairs
Talk about intrusion of privacy all you want, but cameras don't make you any less 'free' to say and do what you want. I will agree that CCTVs will reduce your freedom to mug people, but that's not usually a freedom that average people feel the need to protect as it's in direct opposition to your freedom to be safe from muggers (exemption from external control of the muggers).
Surveillance isn't really an impediment on freedom though, it's just a way to help you get caught when you break the law (mug people and that kinda stuff). Closed borders impedes freedom, but not people recording public areas.

Because it does a really good job of showing how a person is smart, and people are dumb, stupid, panicky animals, and you know it.
