Because one of those has the ability to arrest you and the other doesn't?


Sure, but we've got a pretty spiffy legal system that protects you from that, and in any case the NSA has no incentive to arrest me. I have no real protection from Google or its employees selling my information, using it against me, etc, and as a practical matter they have a lot more incentive to do that than the government does to arrest me.
