  1. Question 1 of 10 · C00Every claim in the kit's decision log is scoped to its threat model. What does that mean?
  2. Question 2 of 10 · C00The kit passes to a second person who must stay unlinkable from the first. Under the reuse decision, what happens to the phone?
  3. Question 3 of 10 · C01Why was the iPhone rejected as the kit's phone?
  4. Question 4 of 10 · C02The phone already runs GrapheneOS and an always-on VPN. Why does the kit still use a privacy carrier?
  5. Question 5 of 10 · C03Why did Debian, rather than Ubuntu, become the laptop's main operating system?
  6. Question 6 of 10 · C04Why does the kit enforce the VPN on every device instead of relying on the travel router alone?
  7. Question 7 of 10 · C05In nested mode, the router and the laptop both run Mullvad tunnels. What trade does the kit accept?
  8. Question 8 of 10 · C06The rejected two-profile design existed to survive a glance over the shoulder or a border inspection. Why didn't that justify it?
  9. Question 9 of 10 · C07Why does the kit want cash in person for the phone, but let the laptop and router be bought online?
  10. Question 10 of 10 · C08The hotel Wi-Fi is slow but working. What does the kit's doctrine say about the Starlink dish?
