Yeah...but we have a right to privacy. And if any one sees that we are using it...that is not enough for probable cause. Also, the boot backdoor is only used by someone who singles you out..and even then its limited as it can only be used if the user is online using it. Most people that get caught (e.g. Mr. Ross Ulbricht who used tails for years running Silk Road) got busted leaving crumbs across the net not using Tor. Also, VPN providers and various anon email providers get subpoenaed in court all the time for user information (e.g. Lavabit). Some like lavabit were nice enough to wipe the customer information before turning over their records. They are out of business today and that was the best anon email provider around. In reality, security is nothing but a feeling. Some things just give you a better sense of it than others. To each his own. All Tails does is give you an all in one place to practice your anonymity in a simple format. Feel free to check out their wiki, forums, and videos to see if its right for you. The best security you can have is common sense...just my two cents.
Love you brothers!!
