It's a bit disingenuous to lump everyone in the 'government' together. It is perfectly reasonable for the NSA to be conducting a massive illegal wiretap of all digital communications for all persons on the planet creating 'profiles' for each digital communication and linking them together with a myriad of other systems AND for the DHS to not know how to communicate on their radios, let alone encrypted. You must consider the underlying competency of the group which could perpetrate a 'conspiracy' when considering the validity of that conspiracy. And the 'government' is little more than a feudal system that loosely works together sometimes.
