Here’s a great idea: a USB thumb drive you can’t carry on a plane.

Duh!

It’s packed in my toilet kit when I travel, and that goes in the hold. A thumb drive, by contrast, goes with my PC — and that’s generallly in my lap.

If I weren’t a supporter of cremation, I’d asked to be buried with my Swiss Army Knife, one of the best tools ever invented.
