NSAT&T Anti-Terror Tips

Because your safety and security is our first concern, we recommend the following tips to help fight terrorism:

• Use email software with strong encryption to prevent terrorists from reading your email
• Encrypt the files on your computer using strong encryption such as PGP to prevent terrorists from accessing your files
• Keep your computer up to date with the latest security updates to prevent terrorists from gaining control of your PC
• Use a stable, secure, open-source Web browser like Firefox to prevent terrorists from exploting vulnerabilities in the browser that came with your computer
• Browse the Web using an anonymous proxy to prevent terrorists from seeing what sites you visit
• Insist that electronic voting machines provide you with a traceable paper receipt so you can ensure that terrorists haven't altered the electronic ballot
• Refuse to use documents such as passports and drivers licenses that contain RFID chips which can be scanned remotely by terrorists who could then steal your identity
• Subscribe to publications such as this one to stay informed about, and learn to avoid, the latest security vulnerabilities that are susceptible to being exploited by terrorists
• Contact your favorite government representative (senator, congressperson, president) and insist on laws that provide stiff penalties for terrorists who reveal, or through negligence cause to be revealed, your personal information
• Report all behavior, especially if it is suspicious
