I do not share your view - I believe the NSA, and the rest of the spooky world of the US Government, is in fact staffed by people who have nefarious intentions - even if those intentions are 'to have a better security clearance than my neighbor' or to .. 'know best about the world than anyone else' .. or, how about .. 'to not let anyone else in the world develop technology that might upset the current power structures'.
