Guys was referring to the companies. "Ours" meaning private businesses and individuals.
I'm sorry if my comment implied "vulnerabilities from the NSA" these are vulnerabilities in everything else, being sold to the NSA, then kept secret by the NSA from the people they are supposed to be protecting.
If I accidentally left a door open on my house and a police officer that knew who I was saw my house left wide open, I'd hope a) he'd let me know or b) not do anything. I hope he wouldn't just go inside and take pictures of my private affairs for using against me later when it's convenient.
This is opposed from him seeing the door with indications of a break in, that'd be different, but again, I'd hope he doesn't go in.
This isn't out of fear of illegal activities being discovered (I have none, I'm boring), instead it's from the fear of someone using their position of power to take advantage of me for personal or professional, or the protection/enforcement of political ideologies.
