[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 58943, post: 752903"] Nope. TAA is to meet govt. supplier certifications for 'significantly US' products. It doesn't apply at all to consumers unless the manufacturer declares their entire product line TAA compliant. Consumer stuff - good luck there. Backdooring TAA compliant stuff is going to be way harder for China. The reason is, those chips come in from one place, the board another, the caps another. All of it gets hand assembled in the USA after testing and validation. Then the software which is entirely made here gets loaded on and validates the hardware integrity. Backdooring it would generally require access to the development code and assembly line. [/QUOTE]
