The kernel and all apps are OpenSource i.e. people can (and do) read the
sources. It's impossible to build in backdoors. The attack could come
through the firmware in the chips (which are not OpenSource). For this
the Puri.sm L5 (and the laptops they make also) have 3 hardware keys to
poweroff WiFi, Cellular, Microphone/Cameras (all 3 will turn off GPS).

The authorities can not track you. See:
