> How do we now it isn’t some government plot designed to snare activists or criminals? A couple of ways, actually. One of the Snowden leaks show the NSA complaining about Tails in a Power Point Slide; if it’s bad for the NSA, it’s safe to say it’s good for privacy. And all of the Tails code is open source, so it can be inspected by anyone worried about foul play.

It does not follow that either, or both, of these points (Open source, an NSA complaint slide) make this "snare proof". I'm not saying that it isn't, but there is no logic in the Wired article's assertions.
