Wow! Not using social media and avoiding your photos from being publicly shared is what distinguishes a North Korean hacker? I see how ex-CIA guys would expect to get a profile on everyone and know what color toothbrush they use. I am lucky

To skip TSA nonsense you just need to skip TSA nonsense. Outside of the US airtravel is still relatively similar to rail. You have to be on time, you have to handle the baggage, but you can walk through xray and security within minutes and

Why not call your children John or Maria Smith at birth then? Wouldn't this guarantee almost full anonymity in most contexts? The typical security precautions are very hard to maintain in real life. e.g. should your child win some spel
