I've heard of agencies that use random atmospheric noise as the seed.

Right, there's "true" random and "pseudo" random. The latter is what can be algorithmically generated. A bad seed can compromise the whole thing to an attack while even a good seed isn't "technically" random, but generally "good enough". If true random is needed, can be done.
