I see this as a good thing. Since there is no way the current staff of any country could possibly read everybody's mail, they'll need to hire a great many more workers. In fact they'll need to hire every single unemployed person in the country, and then start stealing employees from companies around the nation. It will probably be easier to pay companies to assign people to this work. Pretty soon we'll have the entire population spying on each other. What could be wrong with that? It will be the ultimate socialist paradise. If everyone works for the government then we all work for each other, and we all get along much better.

It wouldn't work here in the US, though. The states will want a piece of the action, and then we'd have the federal and state governments spying on each other. Not that they don't already.
