You want to be really scared? You don't even need hardware. You simply have to have some code in either the compiler/linker for the software you are using. At some point we have to give up some trust mechanisms, because there really is no such thing as perfect security in software. Ken Thompson's Reflections on Trust is a good read on this if you are interested: http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/ken/trust.html
