I am not sure if I want to rant or be reasonable. If I were to rant, I might remind you that we are now in wartime and the battlefield includes civilian targets in the United States--including small children who in no way can be blamed for any foreign policy sins committed by the United States. They are not even guilty indirectly, as that medieval murderer currently based in Afghanistan would have us believe--little children don't pay taxes or voluntarily consent to the state.
If I were to be reasonable, I might point out that you don't have an unrestricted right to privacy. For one thing, YOUR place of work is not really yours. Like most other places of employment in a market econonmy, your place of employment is privately owned by someone other than you. That entity has the right to regulate the conditions under which you have access to that entity's property. If you don't like the terms on offer, your option in a market is to withdraw your services from the transaction and move on to something you find preferrable. Or you could fight for socialism. I don't see much besides rhetorical obfuscation in between.
