The limits
No photos are taken of seeds, plates, or screens that show the words. A camera in the room means the sitting is over.
A seed is never loaded on a computer that had the network up in that session. Networking is set to Disabled before the desktop appears.
Only one seed is loaded in a Tails boot. The computer is shut down fully before the next seed. Persistent Storage is not created on the Tails USB, and it is not unlocked.
If a fingerprint or a signature fails, the file is deleted. The work does not continue with that file, and a newer unmatched download is not treated as an upgrade.
A hardware signer is not required to begin. If more than one key is later loaded onto a device, the devices come from more than one maker. All three keys are not put on hardware. The plates are the backup.
