If the government has compromised trusted CAs to do man-in-the-middle attacks, my thought is that they are only for 'intelligence' levels of actions, at least at this point in time. The government isn't going to tip its hand to foreign adversaries even to jail a few pedophiles (or other breakers of Federal law).

Maybe you missed it, but the DEA already uses the questionable NSA secret surveillance to find drug dealers, and constructs evidence against them to hide use of the surveillance.

Well, that's acceptable. It is the War on Drugs after all. We have no War on Pedophilia, so we can't use it to go after the pedophiles. /s
