I'd rather have a hacker have 100% of my info than the NSA.

A hacker can steal my identity and drain my bank account.I can survive that, and I can defend myself by being careful.

The NSA can arrange to have me blackmailed, my reputation destroyed, or even killed, and they are confirmed to do this to people in an industrial fashion.

Whether I agree with you or not, my point is merely that your position is vastly in the minority. People broadly trust the NSA more than random hackers.
