In a true democracy where government serves the people, the people would be opaque to the government and the government would be transparent(nothing to hide) to the people. As we can't impose transparency on government, we can at least obtain opacity for ourselves.

I do like that the government has entities that thwart attacks, and I'm not sure full transparency for these entities works well for everything.
Of course, I don't want this to be used as an argument to mass spy on the people.

Agreed. It's wild to realize that the current US administration campaigned on the promise that they would provide transparency regarding certain matters. Yet now they're doing everything they can to combat transparency for those same matters.
