The Griffin -team is looking for your ideas and comments. Join and show your support for Griffin.  Concealed electronicsTwo potentially useful toys I obtained and reverse-engineered some time ago. The knowledge/appearance/idea may be handy in some context. A spy pen, with a small camera/microphone and recording to a flash
A stun gun, an electric paralyzer
The electronics of either can be mounted into anything else it fits into. The camera battery can be replaced with a cellphone Li-ion battery with several times as high capacity (and correspondingly longer recording time; for this type of camera the battery is the limit). The paralyzer may be built into a cellphone case or any other common object. (Bond? A pathetic wannabe. Q is the real hero.) |

MicroSD cards are another threat. They can be even hidden in a coin.

Another possibility how to smuggle data is to wrap said memory card in wax or other barrier (Parafilm M, or just drip wax from a candle on it) and then swallow it. Then pass the customs or other checks. Then, once in a safe zone, comes the icky part of the data recovery. But, well, that is the price of safely transporting 16 gigs of data.
Yet another possibility is a carrier pigeon.
In fact you might want to ask Mr Jalava if he wants to do a cameo with his special finger... ;)
Sorry, where his finger used to be. But it's a thumb drive... :)
Memory sticks / thumb drives / flash drives are really potent forces for espionage apparently. Some companies ban them from offices completely, because they make it so easy to smuggle vast amounts of data out of a building.
Some of these drives are now smaller than the USB plug they attach with, and one Finn even had a drive installed where his thumb used to be:
