StashCard gives your laptop a secret compartment

stash cardOK, this is genius: StashCard.

I’ve had three laptops, and I don’t think I’ve used the PC Card slot in any one of them (you can get USB adapters for things like the Verizon mobile internet card).

This little cartridge lets you load up a PC slot with SD cards and cash, safely out of sight.

I know, I know: why would you stick your valuables inside of your bigger, more obvious valuable? Two reasons:

  1. You’re going to feel like James Bond
  2. It won’t get pick-pocketed

Just don’t do it while you’re going through the security checkpoint. It might start some searches you’d rather avoid.

It might be a good part of multiple stashes to keep a good amount of (paper-only) cash. There are good jackets, shoes, and pens that can be used to hide emergency money.

If you’re going to hide change though you’re asking for trouble in the airport security line.
