	Yes brother, linux is the light of the world =)

	Actually, I meant to link this one

	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security-Enhanced_Linux

	which according to wikipedia was primarily developed by the
	NSA. 

	But since according to wiki again, the NSA made 'substantial
	contributions' to the LSM framework as well, I didn't bother
	correcting my mistake. 

	Granted, one can easily avoid the selinux module. And a quick
	look at the /security/ directories suggests that there aren't
	tons of code to audit, though I actually have no clue as to
	how hard it would be to actually audit that code. Let alone how
	to audit it. 

	This is probably old news for a lot of people but the fact
	that the NSA was involved in this kind of thing is just too
	rich...
