Sure, the NSA can't be trusted... but in the particular case of ML-KEM 
it seems there's nowhere for them to hide:

There are concerns about the real strength of the smallest ML-KEM keys, 
but the PGP PQC drafts do not permit them, only the two larger key 
sizes. They also only permit them in hybrid PQ/T mode, so if you think 
ECC is still secure, the only thing you've lost is some processor 
cycles. Not great, but not the end of the world either.

tl;dr: nothing to see here.
