It's trying to extend and build itself up, yes, but its very foundations are cracking, that's what is important.
Of course they won't give up power quietly, they're psychopaths and tyrants. They NEVER give up their power quietly. But, really, before the decade's out, the very ideas behind what the state is, where it gets its power from, and why it is needed, will all be significantly challenged. Hell, within 5 years, complying with the state will be optional, so long as you keep your head down. You'll be able to buy everything you need to survive (and more), with untraceable currencies, you'll be able to communicate without being spied on, your very existance could happen under their nose, and they wouldn't know.
Another case in point, back to drones. Domestic drones are not even fully deployed in the US, yet... and there's already a company selling a device that will make it impossible for a drone to operate over your property. http://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2013-03/company-to-make-antidrone-tech-available-to-the-masses
