For me the real shock of Snowden's revelations was just how poorly run these programmes were. Lax security, no oversight. Pretty much carte blanche for all involved because ... hur durr ... national security. James Bond gets to do whatever he wants because he's "one guy" doing blackops on a fairly exceptional basis. When you've a whole swarm of James Bond wannabes you need to reel em in and have oversight.
