I hear you loud and clear, the right to privacy has gone to shit.

Meanwhile, you know how small MicroSD cards are right? You could store one of those in a hollowed out coin (which would dual function as something of a Faraday Cage) to carry your data, without carrying any active device.

I’m pretty sure an xray will go through a hollowed out coin showing the sd card and then you’re fucked.

Metal blocks X-rays. Some coins are thicker than others, MicroSD is pretty thin...

I guess it depends on the coin. Probably would work given the sdcard outline would be hard to notice if it even registers. Xray of coins

Interesting photo, even if it is just a stock image.

I happen to have an interesting coin collection, and I know what metals about half of them are made from.

Those dual ring metal coins are most interesting, like you could bore out a notch to hide a MicroSD, then pop it back in the outer ring...
