Three part question. (sorry)

Given the current technology, tor, tails, freenet etc. Would you have been satisfied to have reported the abuse and fraud anonymously?

While the government says they have protections for whistle blowers could you have taken the protection into your own hands or did you use your authority within the position you held to bring light to these issues?

What advice would you give to anyone who wants to report misconduct within a business/govt. (Aside from lawyer up)?

I think personally the loss of income from being fired is a primary reason people don't report misconduct, from a government prospective being overcharged by $100m could easily pay for compensation of lost wages by reporting similar to a form of workers comp.

How likely is recovery of data when say for example a hard drive is smashed against a wall rather than securely erased?

Is a raid 0 array a secure non redundant way of encrypting my data so for example i take a hard drive with me wherever i go and keep 2 or 3 at a computer? (and obviously encrypt the array)

How secure is Tor by default, and with no script enabled? Sure you could find evidence that Tor may be on a persons computer but is the local OS free of trace evidence.

Is defragging an SSD (yes i know its terrible for drive health) likely to do anything to prevent recovery.

thanks for the reply ive always been curious about this stuff and obviously the non redundancy of the raid 0 is a risk but i would hope some of the risk could be mitigated by either solid state storage or by careful handling.
