Despite the obvious technology knowledge failures there, who in the right mind in the NSA thought ANYONE involved in Linux projects would allow that to happen? We're here purely because we're passionate about ensuring a world of tech that makes that impossible. I know people involved in various forms with the NSA, they aren't idiots, so clearly someone is an idiot higher up who forced their hand.
