Because if the NSA needs to bigblackmail you, they can just download bathroom sinks to your hard drive. Then they can extort all your moneyz for their bigblackops budget.

Because there's nothing better to install.

Also, less spying is better than more spying, if you care about spying.
There is no single entity in the spying business. The point is to reduce the number of parties that spy on you, one step at a time if you can't do it all at once.

There's no way to enter via an unconfigured ME. You literally have to open the backdoors yourself by configuring it first.

> PAVP is also used by another ME application to draw an authentication PIN pad directly onto the screen. In this usage, the PAVP application directly controls the graphics that appear on the PC's screen in a way that the host OS cannot detect.
Just imagine your computer suddenly locks up and a keypad is drawn onto your screen. Creepy as fuck

What about the stuff in your BIOS / UEFI?
Are your really sure there is nothing there that could communicate?

Honest question. I'm an illiterate fucktard when it comes to computers.

Then buy an FPGA. But even then you can't be 100% sure that there aren't backdoors.

isn't that that retarded "security hole" that already requires the system to be totally compromised to exploit in the first place?

Literally everything has firmware these days, and a tiny microcontroller to run it. There's CPUs upon CPUs running in almost every device you own.
