Hi,
I was going to use an SE Linux mailing list for this, but, figured
I'd ask on this list first, figuring that I may have a better chance

I've heard all of this "talk" about how secure SE Linux is.
However, how secure can this thing be if it has been developed by the
NSA? I mean, wouldn't THEY know how to get into your computer? And,
it's the NSA! If this question sounds elementary, it's because I'm
still learning how to secure my computer(s). I'm not a nihilist, just
a little skeptical of how secure SEL is in reality (and the NSA).
Thanks. ~Telly
Given how invasive American and British politicians and bureaucrats have
become, I think that this is a very reasonable question to ask.
And it was asked (repeatedly ad nauseum) 6 years ago.
Apparently, enough people have pored over the code (it's open
source, you know...) that it's been satisfactorily answered.
