The fact that it's a military stuff doesn't necessarily mean it's super secure or superior to something else. Also - "scientific' doesn't always mean 'better'.

On the upside, they should be developed by people who are *supposed* to be exceptionally motivated to create the best offerings.

After all, they don't want some kid in Idaho hacking the white house computers and posting a home video of the president dancing in a pink tutu across the YouTube - that'll get their butt fired fast ^_^.

Basically we common humans know about security about as much as it leaked from NSA and RAND. That is the real truth.
