Yes, but please don't put regarding SELinux as something secret or
developed by a secret agency.

1) The NSA is not secret.  Some of their activity is classified, some of
it is not.  SELinux is an example of a project that is not classified.

2) SELinux is not a military/covert operating system.  It is quite
literally Security Enhanced Linux, designed to improve the default
security of Linux systems.

3) TV shows are not connected with what people do in real environments.

4) This stuff can help everyone, not just people who need to have their
operating system orange book certified.
