I see what you mean; there are two things that most interest me.
The first is "wow, did I just see them in action?".
The second is that journalists are consulting the wrong "experts" in situations like this. They think "cryptographers" are the experts in these Snowden leaks, but the real experts for most stories are incident responders, pentesters, reverse engineers, and even simple IT engineers.
As for being wrong, I'm sure if I could reveal more details, people might be able to debunk me. Sadly, I can't.
