Apple has gone to great lengths to make both devices secure and policies. You are awfully critical, so I really want to understand what is the expected behavior that you'd like to see?

Open source the security libraries? But if you don't trust Apple not to backdoor then what's stopping them from putting the backdoor in the kernel? At some point we must trust something.

That would help a lot.

At the moment, nothing. That's kind of my point.

Yes, that's true, but the more I can poke around under the hood (or hire someone to do it for me) the warmer and fuzzier I feel.
