Offloading security maketh me nervouth

Security software has such a record of flimflam, security thru obscurity, and just plain shoddiness that I wonder how wise it would be to move it to drives where it can't be easily reviewed or modified.

Are there any disk drives with GPL software on them which can be reviewed and modified? Is there any provision for such in this scheme?
