That's the frustrating thing. The NSA actually used to be good, and generally useful towards securing our digital borders. SELinux, for example, was a contribution to the linux kernel that is generally highly regarded and well vetted, and it was freely given to us plebs that don't have nuclear arsenals to secure.
But now, everything is different. They've been telling us to use flawed crypto algorithms simply because they know how to break them and they can have access to whatever they want. With our current-day NSA, our least risky choice is to consider the NSA an adversary, just like North Korea, Russia, or China. Nothing they say should be taken at face value.
Pretty shitty that we have to treat our own government security agencies like that.
