Has any thought been given to the recent revelations concerning the NSA
and GCHQ?

TrueCrypt allows different encryption algorithms and the specification
of the order of use.
See: http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/encryption-algorithms

If the encryption with more than one system can be performed one one
block, passed to the next, ... While the second algorithm enciphers the
first block, the first algorithm starts on the next block.  The slowest
algorithm determines the encryption rate.

I've used TrueCrypt; it performed well with encryption by three cipher
algorithms.

Dependence on AES (a weakened version of Rijndael) seems specious at best.
