I suppose the NSA probably gets the key when it gets transmitted [...] Am I missing something here? I'm not sure if you're being serious or sarcastic. ;) Anyway, if you don't care who has access to your backups then obviously my argument has no relevance to you.

"Well, what do I have to hide?" is a bad argument with respect to whether the NSA should be doing the things it does, but with respect to whether I am going to spend money and effort to hide my photos and documents from them, I think it's a fair argument. I care very much, however, whether hackers will have access to my files, as they can cause havoc with things like tax returns that the NSA won't (I mean, the government already has my tax returns....). So I was mainly curious if there was some significant flaw in Backblaze's encryption that should worry me from the perspective of a non-nation state adversary.
