I see that people have discussed the security risks of Midori, Liberte and to a lesser extent Tails, how does the tor browser bundle, using vidalia stack up?
I connect via a VPN, then log into Tor, however I would like to access SR by booting from a USB flash drive running linux and the tor browser, is it possible to create a truecryyypt volume on the flashdrive and still boot from it? I dont quite understand how i can get my PC to boot from a password protected USB flash drive
Any help would be appreciated

Liberte uses dm-crypt modules to encrypt your partitions. I have my swap partition encrypted using /dev/random on each boot. From my understanding as long as you are using strong ciphers then this is just as secure as a truecrypt volume. I think truecrypt has other techniques like hiding volumes that isn't accomplished with dm-crypt. But as far as the data being protected with a key or passphrase, dm-crypt does a great job. I'm not a fan of liberte but dm-crypt on gentoo or archlinux is pretty slick. But on a USB I think you want liberte. What were the security issues you heard about liberte?
