[OPSEC/computer]Tails 1.3 on mac

So I've just got tails 1.3 loaded on my USB. On the first boot up everything went smooth expect no keyboard and mouse since they are Bluetooth. Is it better to have a wired keyboard and mouse over a Bluetooth one? Also how safe is running tails on mac?? Any help would be much appreciated.

What kind of mac are you running? I'm using a macbook and everything works but the wifi (I use a thunderbolt ethernet adapter). Mac hardware sucks for tails, so it's likely you will need to use a USB mouse and keyboard.

if you want to use your bluetooth mouse/kb you'll have to install an additional package in tails: https://tails.boum.org/doc/advanced_topics/wireless_devices/index.en.html (bottom of page). Be aware that using bluetooth means you are vulnerable to a local attack from any machine within bluetooth range, so a cabled connection will usually be safer. Security needs always depend on what you want to do so for somebody just looking to buy rec amounts of pot on some DNM from the safety of your home you probably shouldn't worry about an attack through bluetooth too much.
