who garantues that there arent already spy bits in existing bioses by vendors?

If sony distributes rootkits on audio cds how can a consumer be sure that buying pc hardware or consoles with inet access (like xbox crap e.g.) dont abuse their closed source bios to do malicious stuff?

Theres as much trust in the industrie as in the puppets they pay (politicians).
