This is FUD someone is spreading since some time on the schneier website
comments. She didn't read the warning on top of the
tails-autotest-remote-shell script probably:

# ATTENTION: Yes, this can be used as a backdoor, but only for an
# adversary with access to you *physical* serial port, which means
# that you are screwed any way.

Whisperback send *encrypted* messages to us through hidden services. If someone
is able to change its behavior, is that she is root on your machine and thus
you have other problems.

The same apply for the do_not_ever_run_me script.
