If the NSA is doing this "legally" via secret courts etc... Then you have to assume every company subject to US law can't be trusted.

We already know that we can't trust most major US companies. What compromised CAs mean is that we also can't even trust non-US companies due to our dependence on US CAs for TLS to actually be usable.

...and any CA outside the US is compromised by China, India, UK, etc.
