That's ridiculous. It seems like you're condoning mass-surveillance by saying "It's their job". Doesn't the government get to tell them what their job is and don't we get to tell our government what we think?

You make two assumptions:
1. all spies work for a government
2. government employees follow all the rules and guidelines. that is, they follow the law themselves.
