Yes, I agree. NSA and dictator Obama are behind this.

My real point, if it is not clear, is EXTREME EFFORT should be spent in looking at these interfaces between our the cryptographic security (e.g. SHA256) and it's technical implementation.
The "back doors" or "weak points" will be in plain site and easily overlooked. e.g. - The android random number generator.
We patch these weak points or saboteured areas, and we will be good.

The problem is that these backdoors could be hidden in plain sight, and we may never find them.

Why bother with software when you can just stuff hardware backdoors into the cpu.
