Funny you mention that. I was just fixin' to write up a response similar.

So Phil, you are going through a lot of work to try and leave no tracks of your internet surfing. You're obviously not going to tell us what you're up to, but don't blow your cover too much. Someone from the CIA could be monitoring this thread right now. :D

In almost every news piece that I've read about terrorists, rebels, militants, the source of the statement is usually always "Web site frequently used by militants/terrorists/al-Qaida" but they never post a link, what's up with that?

You're right, which is why I'm the only person posting to this thread with my real name. Go figure...

Since when is it a lot of work to boot an run an OS from a CD ROM? A lot I guess if you have no idea of how to do it or that you don't realize it's a trivial thing to do. :D

Anyway, the point isn't about going to the sites, it's more about how it's always written up, similiar to the statement "goverment sources, etc.". Just makes me wonder whether or not the information is real or progaganda.

So it isn't a large amount of physical exertion, I will agree. My point was that all of the measures you are going through to avoid being detected on the internet will cause most anyone to ask why are you going to those efforts to hide.

Surely you will agree that you are taking extra steps and measures than your normal web surfer who sits in front of their PC and clicks on the browser icon to go looking around.

But...back to the real point of your thread. I wonder the same thing about those sites. You can track down some very disturbing anti-USA Muslim sites without much effort. I tend to think those sites are used just as much as the "secret" ones.

It's really about what one can do to make their internet surfing, habits or whatever anonymous which is a thing that most people are concerned about even if they don't do much about it. People detest spyware, why? Because they have something to hide? No, because they don't like the idea of something monitoring what they are doing. Moreover, if a person were given the option to use a laptop or a computer to surf with that had the capability to totally obliterate the record of the sites they visited, cookies, etc and that their machine would remain virus free the next time they turned it on, it seems to me that many would choose that option if it was available to them.

Your scenario is like the police officer asking you if he can search you when it's within your right to say no but you say yes because you feel you have nothing to hide, however it's also okay to say no as a matter of fact it's you're right to say no even when you have nothing to hide.

As unconstitutional as it sounds saying no to a random search has been successfully used as probable cause for a search many times.
