New York City is located in the U.S. and possibly
subject to U.S. laws.

Possibly search and seizure.

physical layer threats - preliminary and draft.
obviously area has LONG HISTORY including 9/11,
floods, etc.
floods - AT&T or other data center, near Canal Street.

Canal Street used to be a canal??
much of Wall Street area and other typical telephone company
buildings WHICH ARE THE PHYSICAL BASIS of the internet
is low lying and EASILY FLOODED.

electric outage by electric utility - Con Ed. plenty of public
reported outages. possibly some NOT reported.
very old equipment. Possibly poorly maintained according to
ratings.

simple check of veracity. ASCE rating in Popular Science is
D minus of America's Infrastructure.

Most of Wall Street and BIG BANKS data centers are NOT in
New York City. In Jersey, etc. Bear Sterns, now bankrupt
center may be located in Whippany, NJ. Plenty of cheap locations
in New Jersey or even Pennsylvania.

On search and seizure. Obviously, the fastmail account prefers NOT
to have encryption and should not be linked to any worldwide
'strange addresses.'

Scenario (see how many times). Alleged violations of law.
THERE ARE close to million laws in the U.S., with courts saying
some are contradictory. Never send any photos of children, including
your own! - child porn??

Easy to seize the physical equipment even apparently without a warrant. Is this true? Simply contact (at your risk) INDYMEDIA
anywhere in the world.

So, the fear is some ALLEGED violator using the e-mail and thus
ALL ACCOUNTS ARE FROZEN or subject to search or physical
equipment is held by authorities.

Split the mail.
Make it easy to automatically erase mail after certain date.
Avoid tracking IP address or keeping logs of IP.
jump up and down and touch your nose - this is fiction.
1st amendment and other legal insert here. other items.

general rule: please don't send any e-mail that EVER, EVER might
be embaressing. Laws are apparently not presently RETROACTIVE,
so those photos of children, your own children WHO LOVE YOU
will not be used against you.

Note: no claim of expert, nor lawyer, nor international lawyer, etc.

use of PGP and other authentication?

use of multi-factor authenticate including text message sent
to mobile devices.

extra expense of backup.
