They are monitoring people in person its just that they also want to break encryption. Why not have it all?

Let's not forget, that the government is doing this to keep us nice and safe. It knows what 'nice' really means, and what 'safe' is too! (You don't)

Sometimes it needs to keep you safe even from yourself!!

So, it turns out, that government (an imaginary concept that only exists in our minds) actually cares about us even more than we care about ourselves! Right?
