I can name at least one netsec guy who attributes his entire team's existence to the NSA calling his employer and doing exactly that.

Right. It's a false dichotomy that the NSA doesn't do that and needs to disarm itself. There's a happy middle ground where people don't attack us because they're worried about our retaliation and we also improve our own defenses.

Sounds like that netsec guy's team serves military customers then?

No, they do design work for consumer products.

But good job reading my prior comments :)

What type of consumer products? And I'm not sure what comments you're referring to.
