T&T: Confiscating laptops

>FWIW  Sadly, history has shown that governments rarely stop with
the "guilty".

It's always intrigued me how people say "the government" like it's 
some sort of "thing" that's lurking out there just waiting to screw 
you over.  I'm not saying you can't get screwed over by someone who 
works for the government, but what the hell is this "government" 
that's out to get us all?  People talk about it like it's some giant, 
shaggy Norway rat that's skulking around.  Like "the government" is 
going to take my laptop when I clear customs back into the US.

 I need to get the 
distributorship for the special black paint "the government" uses on 
all those helicopters.

I'm not paranoid, I don't see black helicopters over my house and I'm not
worried about the government taking my laptop just yet. 
 
But I believe my point is historically correct whether you choose to agree
with the semantics of it or not.
