The names of those institutions would give you an all-time high score in a game of oppressive regime buzzword bingo. Whenever I hear someone say 'national security' I get the urge to hit myself over the head with a 2 by 4.

If "national security" can let a government kidnap people, then I can claim "personal security" and kidnap people, maybe on a smaller scale, like children.
