Personally, my biggest takeaway is that anything centralized is compromised, period.
Any centralized system is such a juicy target that the NSA will compromise it. The only way to avoid dragnet issues is to decentralize and force the NSA to expend resources at the edges.
This doesn't means that you can make an individual target secure. The NSA can always outspend you. But you can prevent the NSA from easily just vacuuming up everybody cheaply.
