I work under the assumption that any security measure that the NSA 
doesn't complain about they are able to "break."  Note that break here 
doesn't mean some form of brute force attack.  Just that they are able 
to collect the information they are interested in if they really want to.

New conspiracy: the people complaining about SELinux are actually 
working for some botnet mafia.  They're astro-turfing a FUD campaign to 
keep people from using SELinux since it makes creating a botnet too 
difficult.

Cheers,
Dave
