Sure, you have to have some trust. Even if you had access to the source, you wouldn’t know that the OS on the phone does what it claims. Then even if you audit and compile the OS from scratch, you also need to audit and compile from scratch

Iceland also doesn't have its own military but does have US military bases and the US has promised to defend the country. This means that Iceland is dependant on a good relationship with the US and would act when requested.

That's a great quote. The $4.75 million given is an order of magnitude lower than the $37 million per year that Kotick would need to spend. Surely he doesn't have eight 180-foot mega yachts.
