I think if you mix in a few system that run off of a livedvd (or usbstick with persistence) you can build a network that most vendors, interlopers and pecker-heads cannot penetrate. The trick is to figure out a quick moving onion, where a group of folks build-use-teardown on a weekly if not shorter basis. I'd be willing to participate with a few folks on building and testing, say a gentoo-onion within TOR, if any other have interest. The TOR-ramdisk looks promising for this [1] http://opensource.dyc.edu/tor-ramdisk. Once my cluster stuff stabalizes, one of the things I want to experiment with is running hundreds of Tor-ramdisk on a large cluster. If they do not live long, it's hard to complain about private and limited channels...... How to best syncronize with an out-of-band approach is something that needs extra thought. A physically distinct channel to pass new cryptokeys around is limited and challenging. James [1] http://opensource.dyc.edu/tor-ramdisk
