The definition of casuistry

I found an article titled Taking license that concerns a trend among bars of increasing collection and storage of detailed personal information as a way of verifiying the age of their patrons. About 80% of the way into the article is the following statement:

Proponents... assert that any invasion of privacy is not alarming because there's not much privacy left to invade.


What absolutely bizarre logic! It's like saying it's okay for me to rob people who have already been robbed since they don't have much left for me to take. Amazing!
