   007, you should sew an SD card into your jacket :-)   
      
   They are available up to around the 1TB level.   
      
   My laptop has a connector hole for one, but then   
   the hardware there only runs at 10MB/sec.   
      
   There will be a lot of activity at borders and airports,   
   so lots of opportunities to "lose this and that".   
      
   There are various rules about bringing personal   
   items across borders. Generally speaking, traveling   
   naked is the absolutely safest option when it comes   
   to bureaucracy. Nobody can ask you "do you have   
   anything to declare?" when they can see you don't   
   have anything to declare.
