I tried a State Farm guy, and he was nice enough, but he wanted a saliva sample (not blood) and could not tell me what it was for. He gave me an explicitly partial list but couldn’t complete it for me. That was spooky. I don’t want to do that.
Come to think of it, I didn’t even bother asking what the blood sample was for. But I tend to be exceptionally un-private. I don’t expect privacy to be a part of life among beings who regularly share their source code.
It’s not a matter of privacy. I can’t think of much they’d put on the list that I wouldn’t be willing to let them have. (The agent acted like I could only possibly be worried that they were going to do genetic testing, but I’d let them do that as long as they, you know, told me, and gave me a copy of the results.) It was just really not okay with me that they wanted it for undisclosed purposes. Lack of privacy and secrets shouldn’t be unilateral.

Huh. That is weird. I don’t blame you.
