35 As Tails is being more and more used throughout the world, it is
36 mentioned regularly in the press. This list is not comprehensive, but
37 illustrates some of the significant articles that have been published

48 * 2013-10-15: [CRYPTO-GRAM, October 15, 2013](http://www.schneier.com/crypto-gram-1310.html)

50 use a stateless operating system like Tails. You can configure Tails with a
51 persistent volume to save your data, but no operating system changes are ever
52 saved. Booting Tails from a read-only DVD -- you can keep your data on an
53 encrypted USB stick -- is even more secure. Of course, this is not foolproof,
54 but it greatly reduces the potential avenues for attack."
