Any advice for how to buy computer equipment online, with reduced risk that a friendly NSA agent will intercept the shipment and implant a hardware bug in it?
I have not bought any computers since before the Snowden leaks disclosed this as a real threat. My remaining computers are slow, and literally falling apart. I need lots of new stuff.
I don't do anything illegal, much less of national security interest. However, I have a loud mouth with my opinions... I'm probably on some interesting lists; and I use lots of crypto/anonymity networks to keep my private stuff PRIVATE. I must have clean hardware.
Most hacker/geek sites either ignore this threat, or say "cross your fingers, good luck". Thought I should ask here. People here are more practical.
