5:35 PM EDT 		Although the Linux Journal piece does not explicitly mention this, TAILS apparently stands for The (Amnesic) Incognito Live System.

Indeed, according to Distrowatch, TAILS is actually called the Incognito Live System.

From http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=incognito
Quoting:The (Amnesic) Incognito Live System is a Debian-based live CD/USB with the goal of providing complete Internet anonymity for the user. The product ships with several Internet applications, including web browser, IRC client, mail client and instant messenger, all pre-configured with security in mind and with all traffic anonymised. To achieve this, Incognito uses the Tor network to make Internet traffic very hard to trace.
