I don't know why people trust companies more than governments. Both can be large and powerful.

Also I find it highly unlikely that these certificates get abused:

- Those certificates are from other branches of the government. They won't like the NSA abusing their certificates.

- When abuse of these signatures gets detected it would be a big scandal. It's way more easy and stealthier to steal the keys of a intermediate CA.

We should be moving to systems that cannot be abused instead of systems that "we won't like it" when they get abused. PKI is broken.
