Printer Betrayal
Turns out that several printer manufacturers will print a secret code onto any documents printed from their machines, which can be used to trace a document back to the original printer that produced it. And, subsequently, back to you as an individual. Why is this scary? Because dissident publications are certainly one way to get onto the FBI's watch list. The EFF (join) has published their DocuColor Tracking Dot Decoding Guide. Find out how to destroy the secret code on any of your Xerox printers. For more information, check out the EFF's summary on printer betrayal.
