      I would assume and hope there are concerned programmers which are involved with the Android source code will attempt to hunt down the NSA contributor. They should be highly MOTIVATED in seeing what modified code Google approved to be merged back into the branch and bring some light to the subject for viewers.

        The purpose of code is often obscured like pork in an appropriations bill…

          I've looked a bit around the web and some are saying they where security improvements to App Sandboxing …....

          I'm sure everyone is at ease now ......

          But wait ..... If I was a trader of the American people working for the NSA installing mobile remote software without users consent, I would want to make sure my remote software doesn't go Snowden on me  :-X

            Android should advertise this as a feature.  "Application Sand-boxing by NSA - In God we trust, all others we monitor"
            It could have some serious good uses for customers.
