Re: Security?
"If it was really about security then *all* vendors would have to submit their code for audit by GCHQ."
Exactly. This whole fiasco has never been about security. Going through the motions of auditing other vendors software would be a total waste of time as the verdict had already been decided. It wouldn't matter to the government if all the non-Huawei products were riddled with backdoors. :/
Just another example of Cardassian Law in action:
"On Cardassia, the verdict is always known before the trial begins. And it's always the same."
"In that case, why bother with a trial at all?"
"Because the people demand it. They enjoy watching justice triumph over evil every time. They find it comforting."
