Clicking on the comments link does not reveal any comments. I'm getting a "Subscribe now to get more of The New Yorker's signature mix of politics, culture, and the arts. "
I get the same. Might be related to the fact that I use Ghostery to block absolutely everything. I was starting to feel too paranoid about that, but now I think it's totally justified.
"When you are done you must [...] turn off the Wi-Fi before turning off the computer and removing the battery. The dedicated computer should never be used on the network except when..." This is silly on a "behind 7 proxies" level. Just go the library. If you're worried that investigators are going to swoop down CSI style to track you down because of your important secrets, maybe you should speak to a psychiatrist.

Use a letter stencil? One of those plastic stencils.
That should do it too, you can even make it yourself with a piece of cardboard and a sharp knife.
Ha ha, the situation feels 'arrived' at fictional level already!

Although, first comment on the new yorker post is a good explanation of why StrongBox might not be enough http://fyre.it/i3tCXN.4
It sounds like we need to provide time delay for file transfer as a Tor hidden service.

Take in account they'll look at fingerprints, sweat, DNA, type of paper, ink and type of printer used. Spelling errors, how you wrote something, etc can also be used to identify you. (Every printer leaves it's own watermark). Perhaps best to print and use a old 2nd hand xerox machine to copy everything or fax it from a public faxservice.
Write in foreign language you do not master well. All your errors are then "childish" and untraceable.

> Use a Linux live CD on the "burner laptop" -- don't trust the preinstalled OS Tails is a Linux distribution aimed at privacy and anonymity. ( https://tails.boum.org/ )
I know I'm being paranoid, but I feel uneasy using a privacy-aimed distribution for privacy. The whole obvious target thing.
In Russia you have to provide passport in order to buy a sim card.
Feels a bit overkill and way too identifying - security cameras + internet records + GPS locations will all help track you down, even if they are intermittent. Buy a stack of envelopes from a supermarket. Buy a stack of stamps. Buy a USB. Acquire all with cash. Transfer all files to the USB via live CD - make sure all meta-data is stripped and files are redacted to avoid fingering you. Handle the envelopes/stamps/USB…
>Print the addresses (be careful here - printers sometimes put identifying marks - get the most common one) Printer steganography is usually limited to color laser printers and high-end inkjets. Buying a common one unfortunately won't help you. Included in the codes that have been cracked is the serial number of the printer as well as a date and time stamp of the printout.

Printers are pretty cheap these days, and it seems that in order for any of the markings to be useful they would have to find the printer in question in your possession/prove it was your printer.

This is where the 'many eyes' things comes into play; if the whole distro is OSS, then you can be pretty sure that it's good.
