    So it's basically Tails plus one of these?

    Seems a bit nuts to be planning on charging $50 for that. There 'pro' version too is an extra $25 for software that's free anyway.

    Also, a lot of the claims are over exaggerated, e.g. good luck using it on your employers or internet cafe machines where:
    • You may not have access to the BIOS to change the boot order.
    • All traffic will probably need to authenticate against a proxy
    • TOR traffic is going to be looked for and flagged.

    We've combined a security hardened operating system with a secure web browser, encrypted password management and more, onto a USB drive so you can plug it into any machine (even the most unsafe and virus filled), reboot the machine and start browsing as if you were using the safest, most secure, and UNTRACEABLE computer on the planet!

    What does this give me that a bootable USB stick doesnt running Linux? Reboot, which I put in italics is very important. How many computers does one use which one does not trust but which you are allowed to reboot? Internet cafe computers, internet kiosks at the airport/hotel etc. You can't reboot any of them.

    Besides, who goes anywhere without their personal laptop/tablet anymore?
