In a functioning society accessing private information on someone else would be subject to a proper review system with audits to prevent anyone from accessing information they don’t have a very good (legal) reason to have.
So yeah it’d probably be possible in the USA, but in other places they definitely couldn’t just pull up your search history.

Even in the US it would be punishable. Morality aside, using a billion dollar NSA malware on a person carries a real risk of getting caught. The NSA might be willing to wear that risk for a high value person, but not for some employees kid.
Purely on a misuse of a valuable asset it would be punishable.
