what do you expect them to do - (as long as they exist?) Threaten their employees with torture for leaks? I mean these things are pretty much why the NSA exists, it's kind of its mandate. It's not like their employees don't know they're really, really, really, really not supposed to leak their whole horde of zero days, or protect it to the utmost. these things weren't in a dropbox with the password "password123" or something... what do you expect greater "liability" to do exactly? (Of course this is assuming the agency continues to exists, which you're kind of presupposing when you write "if the NSA were actually forced to be liable") Edit: Don't know why I'm getting downvoted...could you explain what changes to their operating procedured you would expect them to make, if they had greater liability?
