If I’m encrypting my disk, the NSA is far at the bottom of people I want to be safe from. At least the NSA might make a reasonably well implemented backdoor.

My sympathies to you if you feel the NSA is the biggest threat you're facing. I just don't want somone who steals my laptop to be able to empty my bank account. That's why I always turn whole disk encryption on.
