Absolutely!
Not to mention making them submit to random drug, alcohol screens and mental evaluations. Just to be sure, they should all have thorough background checks as well.

It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. Marlboro Smith surveyed his desk with satisfaction. The monthly reports were done and he'd responded to all recent requests under the Public Accountability Act. His workload was current once more.
Smith enjoyed being a public employee, even though he knew he should be ashamed of that fact.
He carefully assumed a pained expression and turned towards the omnipresent Public Oversight camera. It was mounted to look over his shoulder so that it could record exactly what Marlboro wrote, read, or filed away. The placard beneath the lens warned:
LITTLE SISTER IS WATCHING YOU.
Smith sensed someone standing just outside his office. There was no door; no government official had worked behind a closed door since the Government Scrutiny Amendment's ratification.

"I reviewed your present and prior performance. You were demoted after several warnings about a high intrusiveness rating, and one violation of the Limited Implementation law."
"I was just trying to help!" Smith responded emotionally. "There were conflicting rules and the state agencies kept contradicting each other. The disaster victims needed assistance and invoking federal jurisdiction was the only solution."
"So you concluded that a government official had the right to determine the future of American citizens?"
"Not exactly. I was trying to fulfill their requirements of the government."
[...]
"You feel justified then?"
"Yes." Smith froze, realizing that he'd just indicted himself.
O'Brien smiled. "Bureaucrat Smith, you have just admitted believing that official action can have positive results rather than being a necessary evil. I will therefore recommend your immediate suspension pending mandatory attitude adjustment therapy."
If you bring up our legitimate needs, it makes this proposal for them to spy on us sound reasonable!
