    Let's not forget that the governments in the USA & UK are very much in bed
with the industries that provide high tech devices through coercion and/or
contractual bribery.  You can check open-source software, yes, which I really
doubt that this is.  As far as hardware that it runs on, you'll never know if
it's secure or if there are back doors built in, unless you know a hell of a
lot about electronics and IC programming, testing, and diagnosis, or perhaps
intercepting and testing encrypted communication uplinks from your device.
    If you want true security, you're going to have to build the hardware
yourself.  Don't be an idiot.
