Thank you!

This revealed to me that the current Tails.net <http://tails.net/> website 
doesn't include any information on how to safely get
a good USB stick, or that this is important. There are a lot of counterfeits 
and low-quality
sticks that could make Tails *appear* to work poorly. In addition, targeted 
users
(such as journalists/reporters, democracy activists, missionaries) need to take 
additional
precautions (they should NOT request sticks by mail), which isn't obvious.

I propose that the Tails documentation include this information, since
a good (or bad) USB stick will impact *everything*. Issue with some starter 
text is here:
