I see government in different levels in this discussion though. FBI/NSA/etc are very technically capable when they need to be. Congress however, are very not technically capable. For example take comments asking to change the orbits of earth/moon to help climate change, the internet is a bunch of tubes, and other unintelligent sounding comments does not lend to a sign of technical understanding. The scary thing is that these are the morons saying what is/isn't legal, and the tech savvy arms are using that to their complete advantage to get away with everything.
