The Intel Management Engine and its applications are a backdoor with total access to and control over the rest of the PC. Since recent versions of it can't be removed, this means avoiding all recent generations of Intel hardware.

Unless you're going to highlight the right passage I'm not gonna read that doc and either way you guys are way too fucking paranoid. Morons. Unless you're a big time user this is meaningless, and even then I doubt it will mean much. Getting caught is essentially a matter of physical OPSEC, largely down to choosing the right vendors and any OPSEC on your computer is going to have very minor effects on getting in trouble. You are most likely to be caught because of stealth(or lack of) or blind luck, like a machine ripping it open during transit.

Use Tails
Edit: Won't resolve if using late Intel hardware that has upgraded firmware.
Haha, knew the AMD setup I have laying in my closet would come in handy.
