The Truth Machine----------------SPOILER WARNING!------------------
If you read "The Truth Machine" you'll remember the code had a backdoor built into it. I have no doubt if the government is involved in anyway any such device would have an NSA approved backdoor. I would never trust such a device without a copy of the sourcecode.
I liked "The Truth Machine" but the world government crap made me want to hurl....
