Much trust in these hashes we must have, no? Much more trust in the absence of catalogs of them that others have. I can't prove anything, nor do I try, but still it rests on my mind.

Sure, the NSA could backdoor an opt-in system around a political third rail that is hardly if at all used in the United States.

Or, it could attack the radio processor that runs a parallel operating system on our phones that we can't inspect.

Or hell, if the goal is "tracking people", they could attack the legal infrastructure that is used to legally track people via cellphones today.
