Current Tails doesn't use any LSM (they are compiled in but disabled),
but we are in the process of using AppArmor
(https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/5370).

If you intend to make suggestions for Tails development, please be more
clear about them.

It you only want to highlight that NSA is interested into computer
security in general, including Linux hardening, which is no news,
then I'm afraid it's off-topic in this mailing list.
