That is, of course, assuming you fully trust the software running on the x-ray scanners :-)
Really exciting to see these tools come into existence though. Just the fact that they exist can be an excellent deterrent against any sort of malicious hardware tampering at scale. Hopefully the tech eventually gets democratized enough that civil rights groups can do random audits on consumer devices at regular intervals.
- car_analogy 4y ago> trade secret It's not a trade secret once you give it away to millions of customers. Though I'm sure that, as we speak, they're lobbying to make it illegal to use information you'd get from all but the most surface-level, unaided inspection of a product. It'll probably come in one of those "free trade" agreements.
