"...As the acting cybersecurity chief of a federal agency, Timothy DeFoggi should have been well versed in the digital footprints users leave behind online when they visit web sites and download images.
But DeFoggi—convicted today in Nebraska on three child porn charges including conspiracy to solicit and distribute child porn—must have believed his use of the Tor anonymizing network shielded him from federal investigators.
He’s the sixth suspect to make this mistake in Operation Torpedo, an FBI operation that targeted three Tor-based child porn sites and that used controversial methods to unmask anonymized users.
But DeFoggi’s conviction is perhaps more surprising than others owing to the fact that he worked at one time as the acting cybersecurity director of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. DeFoggi worked for the department from 2008 until January this year...."

See? His conviction is proof that everybody in the government are good guys, that you can totally trust them to do the right thing. All the information they collect about you via total surveillance is in good hands. Because they caught the one bad guy and everyone else is completely pure hearted.

No. It shows that the whole society is rotten, and to cure we need even more surveillance. I's propose a webcam with spy-interface in every room, especially in children-bedrooms and bathrooms. Maybe it would be possible to build them into the toilet-seat (pointing up, not down), we could give access to DHS to let them constantly check the private parts for signs of physical abuse. Wouldn't you all feel much safer?
