I have always found this fear over "foreign states" to be a bit odd. Sure if you are a International Company, or a US Government Contractor it might be a concern but for me a Natural Born US Citizen that rarely if ever travels abroad and never to the nations of China or Russia I have limited reasons to fear those nation states, sure they could steal my ID and cause me some momentary financial harm but the US government is empowered to put me in a cage, physically harm me or even kill me. With the state of the Legal System, and massive amounts laws and regulations that can be used to literally arrest anyone at any time I have much much more to fear from the US government obtaining my information than I do from the Russian or Chinese Governments I am missing some key piece of information? Why is Symantec willing to allow the US Government to review the code bot not "foreign" states? What makes the US Government the pinnacle of virtue and honor?
