It is peculiar that this was my first thought too. Surveillance has caused indescribable damage to western nations and they still continue their insanity.

Aside from that I think most hardware is actually still safe. I don't know of hardware backdoors that were actually implemented. I think self preservation keeps most companies in line.

I think the issue with hardware is the potential for infiltration and compromise of the hardware along the supply chain. Both in the component itself or in the assembly process.
