USEFUL TOOL VIA DISK UTILITY

USB SAFE Encrypted Disk Image -
In this day and age of massive information tracking and cyber collection of personal data that matches your name with your face, location, family and DNA, we can hardly avoid all of the subtle (and blatant) intrusions on our privacy and freedoms. Consider for example Touch ID and facial scanning (being pushed by Apple, Google and Microsoft to replace passwords), Digital Legacy caches, EZ Pass car tracking, Ancestry dotcom,cell phone ID chips, endless Covid testing, firearm registration, backgound checks, emailing, IP addresses, FitBit geo tracking, health and medical cyber banks, ICANN website oversight, etc, etc. Should we consider a more private way of safekeeping our personal data and account numbers that is entirely in our possession at all times and not connected to the web? Here is one solution:
