First of all, I don't live in the US. I pay taxes to my government so that they build infrastructure, run public services, etc. Foreign governments normally don't do anything for me, so I don't pay them taxes (unless I'm travelling or doing business abroad, etc) I can think of no scenario where it would be acceptable that my government intercepts and manipulates a device that I ordered. If they would do that, I would protest and complain loudly. Also, I'm not "ruled" by my government. The government provides services and creates laws for the people. I don't live in a dictatorship.
