That seems problematic, and the person who passed on the details of location still has the risk (perhaps a greater risk) of being identified. Cell phones are extremely problematic too. > As far as physical smuggling, I suspect that people would need to > swallow the media cards or to sew them into clothing.

They're very likely to become unusable, to say nothing of potential health effects. There are a million ways to hide a microSD card on one's person. MicroSD cards fit into lockets, inside clothing seams, inside/under band-aids <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhesive_bandage>, in shoes, taped to the bottom of your foot, within bra layers (placement also makes sense because of small bits of metal here), in the bottom of a cigarette pack, in your mouth, under the lid of a water bottle, inside a flashlight, and any number of other items that make sense to have when crossing a border. It's 1cm x 1cm in size, and about 1mm thick. Get creative! For cameras that take SD cards, you can use SD>MicroSD converters and smuggle out the tiny cards if you can get across the border. ~Griffin Boyce
