He does make a convenient scapegoat. However, it could be that people have just become more aware that they are being monitored, and are taking more steps not to be monitored in the information age.

Doubt it, like any other intel op, you stick sleeper in wherever they can: University or Collage ROTC programs, Military Academy's, acceptance into the Armed Forces as Officers or enlisted, work as translators for Intel agencies... But it's your cell phone you should have worried about... things like where were they manufactured and is there software running underneath the OS that intercepts and copies to another stack of servers???
