I'm not arguing that the NSA threat isn't worrisome; it is. But other threats are in fact even worse!
As HN's possibly-most strident torchbearer for the measurement of organizational dynamics, can you quantify this statement? How are your ranking?

Rob is saying that Huawei retains the commercial ability to log directly into their customer's equipment. That's the lede, not NSA!
Indeed, there's a recent legal case of a company selling stuff to Iran. The company said they weren't responsible, because it was resold by intermediaries. Yet, their support engineers were connecting in to manage the box.
The lede was really "here's what we saw", at least to the extent that we can reveal anything being bound by customer confidentiality agreements (which, frankly, isn't much, which kinda sucks for the reasder).
