You can always assume permanent surveillance. Electromagnetic radiation can be read from a distance so any device is completely visible.

- iamnothere 19d agoYou’re obviously not a radio guy. Attenuation and interference are real. Many devices are adequately shielded from all but the most determined and skilled eavesdroppers. And not all equipment leaks useful information in its emissions. If you’re really paranoid, you can build yourself a small Faraday room. It’s not that difficult. It’s also sometimes possible to buy used telco equipment sheds that come pre-shielded, they are popular with radio nerds.
- NishanStepak 17d agoIt has nothing to do with that. There is never going to be a completely secure computer because of human error, software complexity, and security flaws. No matter what you do there will always be flaws. There is no guarantee of complete security on a computer. Governments have access to tools which we often are not even aware of yet. The most secure systems are air gapped and not connected to networks. Anonymity, not equipment is often the best protection. Governments tap the data pipeline, not the individual. They tap at the source, the ISPs, radio and telephone systems, and the computer systems. It has little to do with paranoia.
