Or is it all just a ruse, to lull you into a false sense of security?
Well, as others have pointed out it's better (from a civil liberties perspective) to have these people be wasteful and incompetent than highly effective and dangerous.
The higher the technology, the sharper that two-edged sword.
Unfortunately, they can be incompetent and dangerous at the same time, like a drunk driver.
