The only way to know it is safe is 3rd parties auditing it. The manufacture saying "trust me bro" ain't it and a government audit that doesn't show their work could be bullshit too. A single tech nerd or security specialist is in the same boat as the regular Joe - it's a group effort. Non-techies can contribute in other ways (e.g. reporting bugs).

That’s why government agencies should be transparent and better funded

To be so transparent that we can actually verify the government's findings means a 3rd party is doing the same job the government did. Anything less is the government saying "trust us". [Edit to clarify what I meant] It's cheaper for a bad company to pay for lobbyists or buyout a few politicians than to somehow buyout every 3rd party.
