TBH, true security would only be possible if people started producing their own computers (and equipment to make them). Kind of like open source software, but with advanced 3d-printing.

But even then, it would not be difficult to fool someone by replacing an item with one that looks exactly the same, or by injecting something into the blueprints which would be hard to find (see how often this happens even to open source software under public scrutiny).

As it is, be vigilant, punish companies that get caught breaching your privacy by purchasing somewhere else, and take apart the stuff you quit using to find out at least after the fact if anyone is onto your secret stash of bitcoins...
