Just drive (or take public transit) to some town/city nearby and send it from there, use a printer that doesn’t have those yellot tracking dots, don’t leave fingerprints, drop the mail in an unattended post office box.
Assume all printers have tracking info built into them. Buy a printer with cash, at a thrift store in a different from where you live. Never let the printer connect to the net.
People have been saying the “Brother” brand of printers don’t have them, but I cannot confirm this since I never used them, nor do I have ways to detect yellow dots.
There are also programs that would add random yellow dots before you print it, so the yellot dot tracking would become useless since its flooded with extra yellot dots.
I think it’s just assumed that government authorities are taking the info of people who make public statements of support for Mangione and putting them under increased scrutiny.
It’s more likely that the idea of a “watch list” is obsolete at this point. Now they create elaborate records and psychological profiles of every person they can, domestically or abroad. They also likely track everyone’s physical location as close to real time as possible.
Maybe that’s how they actually caught Luigi. They caught him because they know everyone’s physical location at all time. They just had to rewind the clock back a bit, see who was standing near Thompson at the moment of the shooting, and they instantly knew it was him.
Yeah “the list” is now likely an in depth dossier about every single thing you’ve ever posted, who your friends and family are, what your vices are, where you frequently travel to, etc.
I mean, I’d love to send him something except I don’t want to be on a watch list.
Couldn’t you send an anonymous mail to him?

Which printers don’t leave dots?
The EFF was attempting to keep track of this, but through FOIA requests they learned that every major brand uses dots.
Monochrome ones.

This would only work if you only send 1 page. Otherwise, they can likely compare the two and see where the dots are the same.
Dot matrix doesn’t have the yellow ID dots, but it is just dots.
Maybe, but I doubt most people are going through any kind of process to anonymize it.
It has to have a valid return address or else it will be rejected. I haven’t found out if people from abroad are allowed to send him letters yet.
So? Put the local police station as the return address for giggles.
Good idea, except I’m pretty sure that’s gonna be rejected as invalid…
Someone else mentioned a watch list to me. Who’s list would you be on, and who would have access to it?

Eh. If you’re on your death bed and haven’t been on at least one watch list, can you really be said to have lived at all?
snort
Someone needs to knit that on a throw pillow.
We do have a really arbitrary no fly list people end up on sometimes without knowing the reason at all.
So like everybody?
No, like everybody willing to pass their name through the prison’s mail system.
I’ve assumed that since bush 2 anything anti capitalist, anti imperialist, anti fascist puts you on a list. What list? Who knows.
With the advance of technology these days I think the “list” is more plausible than ever.
And then you know, snowdens leaks pretty much stated that the NSA is spying domestically without warrants.
