I can guaranty that each spy agency around the world does the same and everyone in the intelligence community knows that, and more so they know who does what and how.

For a bureaucrat, it's safer and easier to spend a bunch of money on technology - than to recruit and run agents operating in the enemy camp. PC requires that the snooping must be universal - rather than focused on high probability targets. Taxpayer dollars, along with falling prices on technology, make this silliness possible. But as you say - like it or not, to some extent or other, everyone does it.

I think the use of the IRS in order to scare people away from grassroots political movements is a lot more damaging to the US political tradition and culture - and therefore, to the country in general. You can't have a healthy economy without a modicum of trust in the government.
