"How's this for some video while driving: A coach bus pulls up next to me on the highway at night, and the same porno movie is playing on the TVs behind every window. I just about ran off the road laughing."

Was this by any chance in Denmark, Sweden, or Finland near the end of 1997?

Hey, that's actually a really good idea. I am going to make myself a pair of those for the next time I travel in the USA.

Of course, I have fantasies of organizing an improv-everywhere style strip protest: a few hundred passengers show up simultaneously at security checkpoints around the country and start removing all their clothing and placing it in the bins. If questioned, they say "we heard it was the TSA's new policy".

The felt artwork is awesome, but what I'm really wondering is where I can get a Herring World brand T-shirt. ;)

It's a little too bling (and too pricey) for my tastes, though.

I've personally been thinking of fitting a USB stick into a lipstick case precisely because I'm a paranoid nut and don't feel comfortable carrying my data across the border. I haven't had a chance to experiment with it yet. Maybe somebody on Instructables will come up with something.

This would also be handy for people who have a separate SIM for their data plans. I have my voice plan with one operator, and my data plan with a different operator. The data SIM is currently in my mobile broadband modem, but I don't always feel like lugging my laptop around with me. I've often wished I could have both SIMs in the same phone for voice and data. A few little modifications, and I can!

Technical writers do it manually. ;)
