They find your smashed lappy in the dumpster. "Oh, look, his fingerprints are all over it". There is no national DNA database outside of the penal system (yet) so your dandruff won't do you in. But a print will, if you've ever done something that got you into NCIC.

The idea is not to foil people who suspect you, it's to to keep them from suspecting you in the first place. If you are a NSA targeted suspect and you did something naughty, you've already lost the game.




Who is "they", why do "they" even suspect the dumpster? "They" find fingerprints on it, and no hard drive (you used Tails, remember?)

So after all that work, you link a guy to touching a smashed laptop. Not very helpful.
