First of all, DDG's claims of privacy follow the implausible general model
of "heyyy, just trust us!"

But there's a historical reason as well.  On the first day DuckDuckGo was
announced, I did a whois query on duckduckgo.com.  The domain was
registered to an address in Annapolis, MD.  A small building near the Naval
Academy.  Not proof of course, but suggestive.

The whois record was changed soon thereafter.
