Well, I went to try to install Tails on my USB drive manually (
https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/installation/manual/mac/index.en.html),
and I found out something the hard way. You may want to add a warning to
the end of Step 5, as you do NOT want to attempt to cancel the process by
closing Terminal before the copy finishes. The USB drive will swap to
read-only mode, and I haven't found a way to get it out as it resists all
attempts to format it and/or change the permissions.
