Walk to a Target with $200 cash and no electronic devices on you. Buy a prepaid android smart-phone and a pre-paid airtime card, and activate them using said device.
Too bad meta-data and social graphs will screw you over anyways. Unless you don't use the device for interacting with people you know, in which case, what's the point?

- ThrustVectoring 10y agoDepends on your threat model, really.
- mcbits 10y agoIf the threat model includes "the police come knocking" and "die in prison" then it's best to assume the phone can be traced back to the store and approximate time it was sold (potentially even the exact time and cash register), and surveillance videos will be searched.
- nickpsecurity 10y agoOn top of that, Target has the best video surveillance and most cooperation with police of any large retailer. Their surveillance group even spends a good chunk of its time doing work for various police departments who don't have resources to process the evidence themselves. One should never use a target for anything privacy-related if the police are in the threat model.
