Man, I'd love to go poking around on the dark web, specifically those black markets just to look around and satiate my curiosity but am to afraid that I'll be put on some NSA watch list for doing so.



The NSA are not all-powerful. Grab Tails (https://tails.boum.org/), put on a pair of sunglasses, hit a local wifi hotspot, and go nuts.

The act of just searching/visiting Tails homepage gets you tasked into XKEYSCORE. Get generic linux live CD, apply sunglasses, obtain wifi then get the Tor Browser Bundle and go nuts (after about:config disable javascript).^^


Why not do sunglasses -> hotspot -> tor browser bundle -> tails so that way you're increasingly covering your tracks as you get closer to the goal
