I can't help but feel like the author sounds excessively credulous.
I had to stop reading after he wrote "I could tell something big was up and there simply wasn’t time to debate the merits of handing over my source code to the NSA", because at that point my eyes rolled so hard they fell right out the back of my head.
After I put them back in, I skipped down to the comments. I have a hard time not agreeing vehemently with the top comment on the post, which says:
"You took time off your vacation to help the shadiest government agency on the planet do God-knows-what, as well as give them your IP for free. In addition, your ignorance and glee motivated you write this propaganda post, helping their cause, all for the price of a mug with a fancy sticker on it."
