If you're thinking of an agency that has at least a modicum of economics
sense, then the target of choice is RSA or EC.

Although interesting to cryptographers, and their oxymoronic use of the
term 'broken' nobody spends an ExaByte resource on a single AES key and
gets to keep their job afterwards...
