Under your Public WiFi heading, you should add a warning about surveillance cameras, POS credit card trails, and employee memories. These days, cameras are everywhere, and video storage has gotten very cheap. Assume investigators will visit each shop from which you surfed and act accordingly.
Best to buy your coffee at coffee shop A and do your surfing from near but not in coffee shop B.
Also, if, for instance, you are on a book tour to hype your biography of P4, be aware that, even if you follow WiFi best practices, you will still be leaving a geographic trail that investigators could find very interesting.
- stinkytaco 14y agoIt makes me wonder why the government works so hard to get new powers of investigation. It seems easier to catch someone now than it ever has, despite the preponderance of new privacy tools. Using good old fashion police work like warrants, subpoenas, plea bargains, surveillance, etc, police can put together a lot of pieces that add up to a whole (I make a comment elsewhere in the thread about the problem of plausible deniability in the face or corroborating evidence). Why the hell do they need more tools? Perhaps someone in law enforcement could shed some light on this. After all, I am looking at this from the outside.
