Security for Delegates (and others!)

From the "Better To Err on the Side of Caution" department, I give you: two great posts from Boing Boing:

HOW TO keep your laptop's data out of customs' hands

While this article explains how to keep your data secure at those completely unconstitutional border checks, this information can be very useful for stealth delegates as well. Let's face it; with all the illegal and/or unethical shenanigans the GOP has pulled thus far, who knows what wacky tricks the neocon GOP will try next? Laptop checks for "questionable material" or for "security purposes" would not be outside the realm of possibility. Partition off all your information pertaining to Ron Paul, delegate names & contact details, and convention rules / Robert's Rules info, into a secure spot on your computer before you take it to the convention. If it turns out to be unnecessary, no big deal; but if data searches do take place, you'll be prepared.

HOW TO encrypt your Gmail

If you use Gmail, you may be very interested in that "how to" article. Particularly handy at weeding out neocon infiltrators -- if they don't have your key, they can't communicate with you. This would help stave off any "new RP supporters" who (ahem) aren't.

Naturally, this info is good for anyone, but may be of particular interest to delegates, those supporting their delegates, and anyone who desires more privacy and more assuredness of security.
