My files would bore the TSA to death — which might be a good thing — but I still don’t like the idea of government-sanctioned snooping by a government agency.

But don’t hide that little gizmo in your shoe, even though it is Xrayed. Put it on the tray w/ keys, lots of coins, cell phone, metal biz card case, whatever.

Very smart Fox. I’m curious to read some stories on people this has actually happened to.

What US Border Patrol needs with people’s pictures of grandkids, photos of Mazatlan, and expense reports is beyond me. But no matter how benign the material its none of their business what’s on my PC

I would still encrypt the files on any removable media, since the TSA can take those too (without reason) if they find them.

They may be more likely to do so as well if you’re trying to hide them.

Cute! I could see some enterprising Etsy crafter making these more affordably.
