Actually, somehow, I have a feeling of relief to see that major hardware vendors don't seem to specifically work hand in hand with the NSA to implement backdoors. I don't see that having a JTAG connector publicaly accessible on a RAID controller as a hint for that. The other disclosures also point to my conclusion that the NSA is mostly working on their own. Of course, not all of Snowden's documents are released yet and hence my feeling could be deceiving. I thought it could be worse. Bye, Hannes
