That company is more likely to be a honeypot if it's a profit-motivated, US corporation who can insert a deniable software flaw. There were many such companies in the Snowden leaks.
Im not worried about Purism outside same failures everyone else has. More likely to screw us by accident than anything.
I'm not worried about Purism doing something malicious to their customers; if anything, per the original comment in this thread I'd expect NSA to simply intercept all the shipments en-route and backdoor them, just like they did with other laptops in the past.
It was apparent that they are very selective about stuff like that. You have to be a target of significant value. They could use this attack against specific buyers but I doubt they'll compromise all of them. Risk vs reward.
