The problem is that governments actually want to compromise your security to make their snooping into your business easier with the idea of appearing competent by going for the low-hanging fruit rather than actually protecting the country. That isn't quite the same as balancing privacy with national security. It's more like compromising citizen security for government job security. Never forget that privacy (invisibility) is one of two metrics of your security, and when it gets reduced, your security is being reduced.
