This sort of thing really wicks me off. Secret services might have particularly advanced tech *in* *certain* *areas*, but this will be very limited in its scope. It's not like our governments have quantum computers and are snooping on all our encrypted messages, or phasers with stun and kill settings, or silly stuff like that. Also, when it comes to interfering with public communications, they have to deal with public machinery, which is known and understood by the companies that implement it, so no matter how "advanced" their secrets, they still have to deal with the "primitive" stuff that we actually use.
