That too is for the individual to decide.
It happens that the NSA has a largely unclassified office that is
primarily concerned with computer security. They produce a scholarly
journal called EDPACS - Electronic Data Processing Audit and Control
Systems if I remember correctly.
Back in the day, I was posting some ideas about security on Usenet,
which EDPACS' editor happened to stumble across. He invited me to
contribute a paper, But I'm afraid I never did.
I don't know, but I expect that SELinux comes from the same people.
