Well if I were trying to defend myself against the NSA I would be doing different things entirely… alas there is no threat model I’m concerned with that includes the NSA. For starters hard drive encryption would be the least of my worries.

Exactly this. If your threat profile includes the possibility of special governmental attention, then you're playing a much more serious game and need to be off the grid entirely.
