No reason? The whole NSA stuff was not known until the press made the scoop. So, why should I think that we know everything now? Perhaps tomorrow the press will make another scoop...

2. If NSA has the private key then they can setup proxy and do men in the
middle attack.
3. Or NSA can store the data first and then request for key to decrypt this
later (They have the ability to store data up to 30 days apparently).

By the way, not sure any of you read the story about British Intelligence
taps directly into fiber optic networks

And we learn this because we live in free countries with free spech and free press. Figure out what happens in other countries.
