I've been really paranoid about this lately. At least at a store, it's hard to figure out what hardware is going where, but with a service like amazon, the stuff you buy, the route it takes, is all very well documented. With a military-type budget it wouldn't be very hard to replace that device in transit with another, similar device that is full of backdoors and malware. It's hard to audit devices. At least with networks the communication aspect is an actual physical phenomenon which can be measured and analyzed. At the same time, the military has encrypted radios which can hop frequencies hundreds of times a second. How do I even detect that? I don't think I can.
