I don't think they really care about that as long as they have control over everyone's communications. Plus, if that happens they'll probably see it as a positive for them, because they get to demand even more funding and less strict privacy laws to "defend" us (against a problem they created in the first place).

It's not that different than how they maintain the war on terror by radicalizing people in Middle East against US with their drone strikes.




I would think they care if the capabilities are used against them like if a group such as LulzSec exploited it or something.
