Modern browsers require that leaf certificates which are issued in a chain which descends from a built in publicly trusted root include "certificate transparency" information. This means that the certificate has been published in numerous public logs and so would be discovered. No doubt the NSA intercepts all kinds of things, but they're not doing it with TLS MITM technology (at least not without further additional hacks).
