Of course, with the Snowden revelations, one has to wonder how random the randomly chosen internal AES key is. If it is from an intentionally crippled RNG, it may be easy for someone in the know to do a brute-force search for it.
It's not just deliberate stuff from the NSA but screwups as well. These kinds of things are often kept as proprietary secrets that don't get reviewed by someone that knows what they're doing. There is hardware for AES, so it isn't that surprising that encryption can keep up.
