I started getting worried about this after Google announced encryption between servers recently, because if they have spies there, then that move might not be much of an improvement. Google should start triple-checking everyone working on security there and with access to the encryption keys, even if they are "friends". This is what NSA created, a society filled with paranoia. But after all the revelations about them having spies inside companies, and subverting standards bodies and so on, only extreme paranoia will protect us. It might subside a little if we manage to repeal the Patriot Act, the FISA Amendments Act, fire everyone at the top right now that has been in charge of this: the current president, the current FISA court, the current Intelligence Committee, and then dramatically cut NSA's budget, the "black budget", and establish much stronger oversight over NSA. That doesn't seem easy at all right now, and it's going to take a while to fix everything, so start getting paranoid until then!
