It's naive to the point of absurdity. It's basically saying:
The NSA/CIA/FBI/etc. couldn't even see Ukraine coming! They were on their coffee breaks, those silly spooks! They never get anything right do they? So don't worry about them collecting information on you! They couldn't even find Osama! Those slackers. Don't worry be happy!"
The stupidest assumption one can make about a powerful organization is that it's incompetent and thus benign. Crack open a history book to see how benign power really can be.
