I would think that at some point, the NSA would become too embarrassed to admit that they HADN'T discovered and employed such an exploit!

Which leads me to a question:  Presumably, the NSA has billions of emails locked up in Utah, or wherever they had previously used as a data-store.  Does the revelation of the Heartbleed bug mean that the NSA could have quickly logged onto millions of accounts, read emails in the clear, etc?
