If the NSA is going to spend our tax dollars analyzing that code, the least they could do is contribute formatting cleanup patches!

i don't think the NSA works like that :)

remember "national security" equates to "we will watch you all the time and steal all your dataz". it would obviously be great if "national security" meant what it was supposed to...

The NSA wrote SELinux.

Has that been audited independently? A quick Google search didn't cough up anything.

You mean, has anyone formally audited SELinux to make sure the NSA didn't load it with backdoors? No idea, but it was accepted into mainline Linux kernel ten years ago. So if you don't trust SELinux, you can't trust Linux.
