I think that is actually worse. Say a person isn't liked by the current regime, but they haven't got any solid (i.e. legally useable in court) evidence to put them away. The agency could log onto the GSM network and impersonate that person performing an illegal act they know will be picked up by law enforcement.

It's a good thing that phone metadata is protected by the telephone carrier and requires a warrant to access. Oh, wait...
