Don't forget that there's reasonable evidence that the FBI (or one or more rogue FBI agents) tried blackmailing Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. into committing suicide.[0] Can you imagine if they had a magic button that would instantly open and read all of Dr. King's letters and phone calls? I don't think he would have committed suicide, but they really could and would have smeared him in the press and wrapped him up for years standing trial for one tiny infraction after another. Did they ever figure out who turned on the lawful intercept capability on Greek phone switches to illegally wiretap Grook politicians? (I think it was Greece, in the early-to-mid 2000s.) Edit: it looks like the NSA[1], but I remember reading speculation that it was organized criminals.
