Well as Stephen J. Turnbull pointed out at past Nomi.  Do you check the
source of every piece of source before you compile and run it.  Do you
check it sufficiently to insure a sophisticated organization with plenty
of resources couldn't insert a Trojan without you finding it.  Where do
you source your hardware, where is it manufactured, how is it
delivered?  Who manufactures your tin foil ;)
