Greetings Cody and “The Door”,
I’m a new listener and already have fallen in love with your show!  I wish I had discovered you earlier.  Trust me, I am already starting to hit the archives to absorb the wealth of information you give.
I recently heard you talk about the Raspberry Pi on episode #180 and a thought came to mind: Is the Raspberry Pi (or for that matter, the Banana Pi, the Hummingboard, or any other microcomputer) NSA-proof?  I know there is a minimal amount of parts that go into these mini-pc wonders so the question is: Would it be possible for our trustworthy govt (lol) to have somehow inserted a backdoor or can us freedom-loving supporters of the open source way of life truly find peace of mind using a Raspberry Pi knowing that we are not being spied upon.
Might make for a great episode…what do you think?
Best regards,
Mic
