Hmm.  Let's check out this logic.  The binaries that ship on the FreeBSD
distros are compiled from source.  When I upgrade my system, I compile from
source.  And the backdoor only exists in binaries that are not compiled from
source.  So where do these binaries-with-no-source come from?  Oh, I know!
Carnivore detects FreeBSD ISO downloads, and tells the Magic Lantern
software on my ISP's servers to change the binaries inside the ISO images
that I FTP.  Makes perfect sense!
