Hacking the Police State, Part 1

Obviously, this is alarming.

And as soon as I read it, well, my first though was that I'm going to download TrueCrypt.  I even installed it.  Unfortunately I have no idea how this shit works.  Anyway.

My second thought was, what can we all do, working together, to really fuck with these guys?  I imagine there is a limited amount of forensics teams...it would be awfully sad if they were all busy dealing with bullshit.  So here is what I propose:

1. get a hard drive or other storage device
2. write completely random data to it...no filesystem, just dd a bunch of randomness on there
3. write something that will cause it to get flagged, like "kiddie porn" or "terrorist stuff keep out" or "snowden's home movies"
4. ...well at this point you'll probably get put on the No Fly List, which I've heard is something they can do arbitrarily and without due process (i.e. conviction in a court of law) so...maybe this is a bad idea.  It would be great if other people did it, though.



[Edit]
After following a screenshot-based tutorial for Windows, I have just learned how to use TrueCrypt's most basic function.  Clearly, I am now an elite hacker god.

It has just occurred to me that all the NSA has to do is put a keylogger on your computer and they have you.  So I feel like this adds almost zero security to your day-to-day computing.  It does make me feel secure enough to store documents that contain my SSN, and other information the NSA shiftfuckers already have.

I...have nothing that I need to put in my encrypted volume.
