Are these nifty little toys reprogrammable? Just concerned and cautious about the security issue when reselling or gifting them to someone else, especially if they are not directly sourced from the manufacturer.

I know they are really secure and advertised as a wallet with robust safety features but given the sophisticated nature of scamming technologies these days I would be hesitant to store coins on it. That's just my opinion. Of course OP's device might be totally safe but one has to consider all potential threats and risks.

Can a new seed be implanted on this device? Just wondering if they can be reprogrammed somehow to allow for backdoor access to the private keys.

There was a common scam going on that the seller would put a scratch card with the 25 word seed. The ledger itself is totally secure but those who get scammed are the ones that don't generate a brand new seed upon getting the device. If the device gives you a seed it is trying to scam you. You must make sure to generate your own, completely new seed once you get the ledger and everything should be fine.
