I say privacy is more important. I would sacrifice privacy for security. Everyone has a right to some sort of privacy.

I would say security because if you have security then that can help to protect your privacy aswell.

I would say security is more important even more than privacy. I would prefer to be safe even though I might know that I am spied or that my telephone is tapped but I don't have life threats.

Yesterday I was reading about another traveler's experiences in Hawaii. The lady and her friend stayed at less than secure backpacker's hostel. Every morning they packed up all their valuables and took them down to the beach with them in the day packs . The lady opened her day pack and it was stuffed with paper. All her valuables were gone: her camera and memory cards. She was devastated to lose all this. Privacy is important. There were holes in the bathroom wall in Indonesia, how terrible. Everyone has the right to privacy but I would say security is important too. If traveling in backpacker hostels there may be little privacy but hopefully it will have good security.

i always prefer privacy.if we lose our privacy,its none other than losing our individuality.but security is also an important factor to be looked upon and both are need to be considered on appropriate situations

Privacy is one of the most things in the world for every single person. BUT without security, when you need it, you don't have a lot with privacy, so I would actually choose for security, if I wanted to keep living, and feeling safe, incase I Would need it. And then, even still you would have some privacy, like on the bathroom! So deffinetly I would choose for security.
