Theoretically a very good development regarding lawfulness and accountability.
State spies are basically illegals without accountability, like the various mafia networks. (CIA did have close connections to the Italian mafia, btw in their various illegal activities, such as drugs and torture. The NSA is regularly above the constitution.) Private spies are not yet connected like the mafia, but still can get caught operating out of the legal or constitutional boundaries.
