There's a lot of good problems running loose. For example: how do you establish your computing systems are not compromised? Can you establish this beyond a shadow of a doubt? Or perhaps you could establish some degree of certainty? I told Cory Doctorow his novel "Little Brother" is a fantasy because every smartphone in existence is rigged to be compromised by at least 3 entities, and probably has more holes than a block of swiss cheese...even if you installed a trusted system on it, how do you know the hardware isn't backdoored? Especially after the recent revelation that many phones have easily compromised embedded computers at ring 0 running the radio.
