It was always funny to me reading those stories that Microsoft shares the source of windows with government officials who are worried they have NSA backdoors in a sterile environment: what on earth could you possibly spit from just reading source code? The function won’t be “postToNsa()”

How about "_NSAKEY"?
In practice Microsoft's thousands of unintentional backdoors would be indistinguishable from a small number of intentionally placed ones. Spy agencies don't even have to bother.
