My objection was principally to the notion that the NSA is just some 3rd party security consultancy one calls up. Whether there was or was not a partnership that can or cannot be confirmed or denied, who knows, but lacking verifiable evidence, I'm just as likely to believe the NSA's advice was along the lines of "use a firewall and an IDS".

When one is Google, it is. Not to mention that NSA very much cares for the trillions of information Google has to offer them and their continuing compliance.
