Comment on How risky is it for an American to import electronics from another country? Is customs gonna tamper with your stuff? (eg: a Fairphone 5... customs putting malware/keyloggers...)

Yes. If you’re a rando, sorry you’re just not that interesting.

If you’re someone the US considers an actual threat, then yeah don’t buy anything from the US (use a 3rd party). But if you’re that big of a threat you already know that.

Their question seems to be about buying their from outside the US rather than from. They’re asking about risks involved with importing stuff there.

  This is a very good point. I misunderstood the post.

if you are not white, are you closer to being a rando, or to being (perceived as) an actual threat?

  We’re talking about “I am a prominent member of an organization designated by the US as a terrorist organization.”
  
  Either way I misunderstood OP’s question and my post wasn’t on-topic.

  You’re dramatically overplaying how much skin color matters when it comes to this stuff.
