Cut your fingers off. It's the only way

Seriously though, I don't think that is a problem at all if you are using tails.

Yes. Latex gloves (or "burner gloves" as we call them in the field). Make sure to wear a surgical mask, scrubs and a bouffant cap to both complete the disguise, and to prevent any DNA from making its way onto the laptop. Hair, mucous, saliva and even the very breath you exhale all contain trace amounts of DNA.

If you used tails there should be no preserved digital evidence. Thus it shouldn't matter if your fingerprints on on the laptop. To LE it's just a run of the mill cheap laptop that you use for porn. Legal porn of course

Just burn your fingerprints off your fingers, problem solved. I already did it, so has 90% of the users here.

No, but definitely wear gloves for wanking. Velvet ones.

Hahaha, you have fingers at this point? If you're like 99% of this forum, you've already had robot hands surgically attached to your bloody stump arms, that you chopped up after a heavy meth binge.

I occasionally burn my fingerprints off making reagent tests (acid burns), they keep growing back so they are only surface burns I guess.

Yes. Everyone else who uses the dnms always wears latex gloves. :)

Nah, you're fine...it's just a laptop you use for browsing the interwebs. No more, no less.

Get one of those keyboard covers. Its like a rubber thing you lay over your keyboard to prevent crumbs from your boston cream donut.

That's probably overkill. Its the fingerprints of your activity on the harddrive you're worried about, and TAILS takes care of that. If you really want to, use liquid bandages to obscure your fingerprints instead of gloves. Much less conspicuous at a Starbucks. Agree, the Snowden doc makes you think you're always being watched. Probably a good thing.
