We have no control over the dirty tricks that other countries play. There are no world police to regulate this sort of behavior. Unless a UN treaty banning surveillance is adopted, nothing will be done. Most countries surveil their own citizens. Where is the outrage for that? It is a losing battle. What sorts of intelligence gathering would be acceptable? How about aerial surveillance (photo reconnaissance)? How about satellite surveillance? What about collecting unencrypted RF transmissions? Where you draw the line depends a lot on the stake you have in the game, and it is a game. If you do not play, you will lose.
