As part of the in-group I can think it's kind of funny in a "stick it to the man" kind of way. But considering that much of what let's the NSA do what it does is because of the failure of organizations like the IETF (and bystanders like ourselves not to put more pressure on them) to make secure technologies prevalent, it's not that funny anymore.

This is exactly what the NSA wants. That you feel like you're on the right side and "sticking it to the man" while they laugh all the way to their long term data storage.
