You can open up your chasis and inspect the hardware components. You can take apart most of your hardware and inspect them thoroughly.

Software is different. There is no such thing as botnet hardware. The whole Intel processors anti-theft bullshit was exaggerated.

As long as the software that makes the hardware work isn't proprietary, my freedoms aren't restricted.

Now, if I could easily learn within 40 hours of real time how to build a GPU from scratch with all of the tools to fabricate the individual parts being freely available and able to be used in my home, then I'd give a shit.

Fact is, hardware hacking is drastically more complicated than software hacking. With free software, I may not even need to modify the hardware. For example, some video cards can be turned into TV tuner cards by hacking in a patch that allows the HDMI port to become an input.

In that case stop using computers altogether? Stop using resources because we don't know if the water we drink and the food we eat is not tainted with chemicals to make us more receptive to mind control.

Well, my logic is that by the time they are close to use their hardware backdoors I'm fucked anyway.
Software backdoors are accessible anywhere, at any time.

No you can't.
Some outgoing bytes could very well be intentionally corrupted such that the error correction would make it transparent but the sequence and timing of the corruption would carry data.
There are many other ways to transmit data Wireshark et al. wouldn't see at all
