I got this new iPhone 5S and am afraid to use it?

I got it for Christmas, and I put in my dresser drawer immediately upon receiving the gift in an effort to ensure that the government does not have photos or other digital media that shows my household or my illegal activity. I crammed in the drawer because I know if I pull it out, the government will be able to see inside my house. Also, if I don't get the drawer completely closed, the government can see out the crack, and I'm not sure if they can actually see through the wooden drawer utilizing a form of governmental technology. I'm not sure if I should get a reinforcing case that disables the government's sonar or X-ray vision implemented into the device. However, one of my big fears lies with the fact that the government can still listen in on my conversations and other noise made in our house. Also, I'm fully aware of the lock screen which can optionally require your fingerprint to unlock the phone. The NSA is clearly building a database of fingerprints in order to undermine the common American. Is there any way to fully disable these government implementations WITHOUT THE GOVERNMENT KNOWING I disabled the programs? I'm afraid if the government knows I'm trying to disable the secret monitoring technology implemented on this device, the CIA or FBI may come knocking on my door. Should I just destroy the device? Any help is appreciated.

The government has absolutely no interest "peeping" in on trolls, but do feel free to donate the your nice premium smartphone to a loving "non-troll" household. Your iPhone does indeed deserve a good home and a chance to have a owner who cares.
