Sure but you think the commercially available products like that are actually coded to report an NSA or whatever alphabet bot? I sure hope not. And thats without even getting into your actual browser’s coding. It’s not like they’d tell you they are backdoored. But you’ll notice they don’t tell you they aren’t.

Besides, if rows and rows of Cray supercomps want to break into someone’s porn stash, I’m pretty sure they’ll do it regardless of code some script kiddy put up for commercial release.

People are way too trusting. We couldn’t stop them even if we wanted to.

Depends on who "Them" is. Certainly we can stop a lot of the lesser annoyances but I doubt you can even think of keeping the government out. I remember when PGP first came out the government had a conniption.

It requires incredible computing power to produce hack resistant codes, problem is the Government will likely always have the most powerful computers.
