New Security-Enhanced Linux Release

James Cho writes: "Four days ago, the 2nd public release of the NSA's 'security-enhanced' version of Linux (it's not an entire distribution) came out. The NSA describes it as having 'a strong, flexible mandatory access control architecture incorporated into the major subsystems of the kernel". However it must be noted that this 'is not intended as a complete security solution for Linux' and that there is 'still much work needed to develop a complete security solution'."

Neither can you trust the NSA

I mean, the USA != the world. If the NSA does something, or decides something, why should I find that a good thing? The NSA is an agency of a country where I don't live in, which has another system in place that spies on our economy (Echelon). Why on earth should I trust the NSA?

ps: no, I'm not happy about the NSA approved keys in windows either, allthough these are not usable to enter a system.
