And condoms are only 98% effective.

Your analogy doesn't make sense. It would be more apt to say "condoms from Walmart can be compromised!" but it makes no sense because they can be compromised anywhere. If you think shopping somewhere else means they won't be compromised, that's not logical.

It's not to say that you shouldn't use them, it's to say that you shouldn't judge them based on the geographical location they're acquired.
