I would have no problem with the NSA creating crazy intrusive hacking tools if public citizens were allowed to do the same. If a regular person created tools such as what the NSA made they would get in a heap of trouble, even if they did nothing with them. If the NSA does it; it's ok? This is the kind of logic that leads to abuses of power. Government are just people, and they are just as likely if not more likely than the average person to abuse their power.
