Indeed. Didn't the FBI effectively purchase a zero day to break into the iPhone of the San Bernardino shooter? Didn't they also then not disclose said zero day to Apple?
There's no way that any LE agency can be trusted with this responsibility; I'm not convinced that it can be done by the federal government at all. EFF seems like a reasonable choice, but even non-profits have the potential to be corrupted/subverted (and operating as a dump for zero days has the power to corrupt, for sure, regardless of how moral your organization claims to be on its website).
This definitely falls under the umbrella of hard-problems-in-politics-that-will-not-be-solved-any-time-soon
