This case points out an interesting difference between Hungary and the US: In the US, surveillance is real, and when policy-makers get briefed about what the surveillance state wants, that's based on things they have, or plan on implementing.

This law in Hungary appears to be based on a wish list. Otherwise they would have known what is practical and what isn't. So, DO governments spend all day spying on us? Only the ones that have the budget and technical means to make it real. The rest are just authoritarian wankers.
