From Ars Technica's article on Linus' talk at LinuxCon:

> A couple of final notes: The panelists were asked if they've been approached by the US government to insert a back door into the Linux kernel. Torvalds said no while nodding his head, drawing a laugh.

Very clearly a joke. This is total linkbait crap.
