That's perhaps because it works for them?

Well I would assume that if someone like NSA actually wants to put a 
backdoor, Free and open source code in the Linux kernel is a very 
unlikely candidate.

You might want to read up the two divisions of NSA and the differences 
between them and which division SELinux comes from. It has all been 
discussed before in fedora-selinux list if you want to take a look.
