I agree that he should have been more pro-active with PFS, but he did not consider a national security request to surrender his SSL keys as a legitimate threat. He's somewhat paranoid but he doesn't wear a tinfoil hat or anything.

These comments sound like the guy is getting a pass for his screwup, and the only reason why is because the government is the one doing the subpoenaing. If the situation was reversed everyone where would be cheering at how incompetent and idiotic the government is. It should be owned up that he designed his system with a weak spot, and that weak spot was obviously used to legally subpoena the data the government wanted access to.
