I'm definitely not shilling here, it just seems a tad too good to be true, but I'm not an expert.

7. It looks to be something a very knowledgable tech person could put together

from freeware and install on a < $20 flash drive.

Here's an older review that looks more closely at the tech.

8. yep, this was in my local newspaper because it's a local company

I think the idea is to make web security "easy" for the average person, but according to that review, they have more work to do to make it really easy. Even then, I can see the NSA buying this and hacking it to death to try to defeat it.

4. I would think you could configure Linux Puppy to do the same things for free

I could be wrong

6. Why not just use private browser

It's in safari and chrome. Probably i.e. Free.

9. Seems like a bootable Linux stick with PGP installed. Free stuff but bundled for $99 . n/t

10. The only secure browser is Archmage.

I use nothing else.
