Searching for code that sends data over the network and checking that it's benign? Sure. There is also something called ktrace (or strace on Linux) that will give you very detailed information about what an application does. But I'm starting to understand that you're not really interested in reasonable arguments - like most conspiracy theorists, you *want* your theory to be true, and will reject or ignore any evidence to the contrary.
