You are right, however, when you say that they are not to be trusted "just because there are a bunch of potentially-good people doing technical work in the trenches." They are to be trusted because they are looking out for us and our right to information privacy/safety.

How can this be believed given their track record on security issues,

I think that what Jason is getting at is that the players haven't 
changed, their perspectives haven't actually changed - it's business as 
usual.

It doesn't matter how much honey is poured into people's ears (or smoke 
blown up their asses, if you will), it's the proof that's in the pudding 
that counts, and the pudding is sour.
