SElinux is just policy based MAC you can clearly see what the source is doing. Not everything the NSA does is totally evil, sometimes they actually do what they are supposed to do, which is secure US infrastructure and that includes open source projects. SEAndroid is also a good project, and the NSA is just like any other security specialist who likes to work with open software and rejects blackboxes. At least your intel agency gives you something in return, mine spies on us and gives us nothing.

They wouldn't need to purposely sabotage the linux kernel anyways it's like 15+ million lines of code they can easily review and find bugs as a homework assignment in first year internal classes on offensive exploitation.
