Many folks are willing to pay as much as 50% more for locally sourced food, thinking (for example) that milk or vegetables from China may be less wholesome and more risky than that grown domesically. So maybe we'll soon see a market for "responsibly sourced" technology.
I can see that happening. Especially if some incident should happen where its discovered a security breech has happened due to a hardware hack such as the Wired' article described. There could easily be labels on shipments of CPU's, memory, etc., saying "responsibly sourced". In fact, I could foresee chip manufacturers charging more for their chips, if those chips are vetted as being safe from malicious logic.
