concern trolling?

you're concerned about one developer adding in a backdoor, so the
solution is to add more developers? if you dont trust the 1 how would
you trust the n+1 or the n-1 ? just because they meet you in person and
watch you eat a bunch of mosquitos at a dinner ? thats your level of
security?

its fine, i'm just curious.

(you'd think korea would have superior anti-mosquito technology by now)
