Look, if you're reading this news site, and you didn't know that security can only be meaningfully assessed against a threat and that an accurate model of this threat is required in order to assess it and propose countermeasures, you're not going to bring much to this conversation except noob blather.
The observation you appear to be missing is that *both* adversaries in a crypto war have cost-benefit tradeoffs to make. Backdooring a crypto product is cheap, and very valuable. Expect it. The NSA black-bagging your hardware is expensive. If you've never been to an environmental protest, you're not worth this to them. The NSA pwning your router, apparently, is a capability they hope to automatically acquire this year -- expect that.
