That's really the galling bit, isn't it? There's a lot of [imho] justified outrage about the liberties taken by government enforcement groups, but that they also seem to be lousy at it is unsettling. On the one hand the carelessness is worrying, but on the other I feel reassured they'll never get their act together well enough for a full MiniLove. There's a terrifying potential for finesse in oppressive targeting - and reports tell of it happening - but it seems to botch and backfire enough to keep it public and exposed. At least, some industrious reporter or watchdog hacker will spot it and publicize it.
So perhaps we just need to get better at exploiting that propensity to screw up. Though it's a bit worrying incompetence is one of our checks and balances on the government.
