Imho, these particular agencies are only the agencies we Know about to some degree...the public ones...if you agree that means we have even more spies! We have Government Hackers (we seem to hear more about the chinese hackers than the US hackers)..we have all kinds of other non government hackers...agents, double agents! maybe a few triple agents !
We have a Drone society on the horizon...Spying is a growth industry!
We have nano "smart dust"

Electronic tattoo anyone?
It is in the nature of Governments to Spy, and under the current paradigm, everyone is a potential threat, so governments want to be all pervasive and all knowing in "real time"> qualities usually associated with a supreme being.
You can now be viewed as information > you are what/who you know,where you go, what you buy, what you "like" etc. etc. all of this creates your real time profile...
my current feeling about all these "reveals" about spying is that it is the marketing campaign for the "big brother" effect...big brother is watching you ala 1984.. " Next > well of course we are spying on you > to "protect you" is the next level of the program ~!~
