the counterpoint is that making your traffic cross out of the US gives the NSA (by their ass backwards reading) permission to spy on you

Fair point, but I'm not sure if that was ever a boundary they wouldn't cross, but for 'a little while now' I'd say it doesn't matter.

From outside the US I should be using a VPN end-point within the US, so that my browsing traffic doesn't hit the NSA - only my encrypted VPN traffic does.

Seems a bit optimistic to think they actually care whether they have that permission or not.
