Worth listening to Jake Appelbaum's 'digital anti repression workshop' [1]. In this he explains why he takes the hard-drive out of his laptop and just uses a TailsOS thumb-drive for his computing. It would be actually hilarious when staff ask to peruse the contents of your computer for contraband, only to discover the laptop doesn't have a hard-drive.

Quite apart from all the drama surrounding him, I just wanted to share one of his many informative talks.

(I was wondering why it got downvoted and thanks for clarifying)

Please refrain from certain political posts here when the person you're responding to merely linked videos to technical ways of defending yourself.
