Makes sense to have good decentralized tools but what about endpoint security ? We have to suppose that average OS does have many 0day vulnerabilities so it's easy to get all important data from your computer.

To have good firewall & IDS, automatic analysis, secured kernel - that's was should concern you people.

And that's not all - we cannot be sure if hardware itself does not send any unique IDs to vendors... or network card can mark some packet by unique signature and agency can capture those packet as they pass through internet. I remember i read that few years ago : http://www.slideshare.net/the_netlocksmith/defcon-2012-hardw... I would bet there is many backdoors hidden in hardware.
