Government prodnoses are always trying to pry into people's private data. They sieze laptops
and cameras at airports and scrutinize them for anything naughty.
Well, now you can make life just a little more difficult, unpleasant, and most of all expensive (they hate that) for them.
Just order
a few* BorgCo Enteric microSD card carriers. Only a little 8larger than the card it protects,
the carrier is made from biologically inert plastic with a super-smooth coating to make it easy
to swallow.
If there's some data you want to transport discreetly, download it onto an SD card, pop the card in
one of the capsules, and swallow it with a mouthful of a suitably gloopy drink like a
milkshake.
In a few days, you'll get your data back. Of course, the snoopers can elect to house and feed you
until it reappears, and then have a joyous time looking through hours of non-copyright cat videos.
Imagine their annoyance. And you can probably sue them, too.
Make life just a little bit more miserable for Big Brother - shop at BorgCo today !
*Capsules are single-use and have to be (carefully) cut open to extract the memory card.
Does this actually happen? well, sometimes.

... Because they have to go scrabbling in the lavvy to get the "evidence" ? |
|
| |
It's more about making life more difficult for the mouth-breathing dolts employed to ensure "public safety" ... |
|
| |
//Wouldn't an electronic drop box / upload site be easier// |
|
| |
The purpose would appear to be to discomfit "the man" ? |
|
| |
So surely both is best, the actual data might go to your drop
box
[big] while a blank one of these (designed specifically to
both
set off magnetic security gates & show up enticingly on any
security x rays) is swallowed. |
|
| |
//It would then seem a bit arbitrary for you to be detained
at customs// |
|
| |
Which of course makes the subsequent lawsuit to extend
the fun that much
more plausible. |
|
| |
A big advertising campaign with free samples in every
cereal box might be helpful there of
course "I
accidentally swallowed the free gift m'lud" |
|
| |
But does this actually happen? I have been through quite a
range of airports, and have never had anyone examine the
contents of my laptop, phone, or my portable "PLANS FOR
THE EXTERMINATION OF MANKIND - REALY REALY SECRET"
hard drive. |
|
| |
Or perhaps it's just you, [8th], whom they invariably stop
and search. |
|
| |
Incidentally, the Intercalary was delayed and questioned at
every single security checkpoint on his way out to Cape
Verde recently. Serves him right for eating every last bit of
my gilded gingerbread. He did mention that the security
men at São Nicolau Airport have particularly cold hands. |

Only if you have [link]s to the BBC apparently, so you're
probably safe [Max].. you don't work for the BBC do you? |
|
| |
Not usually, no. Unusually, yes. |
|
| |
What? you unusually work for the BBC? how does that
work then? |
|
| |
Usually unused ~ also/or ~ Unusually used (but we don't talk
about that, not in polite company). |
