My Fellow Travelers Along The Sneaker Net,

Over time I have acquired over a dozen thumb drives and innumerable 4-64 Gig SD 
Cards to use in carrying and recording data. This morning I needed to transfer 
some photos of a reunion event from my MBP to a thumb drive to give to my wife 
to upload to a face book page, that I do not have access to, for the people 
involved in the reunion. (I was merely the SSU, shooting photos and enjoying 
the food and beverages.) I pulled out a drive from my case put it in my MBP, 
opened it, and bam!, there was a whole bunch of files.

Pulled out a second and again there were files and programs and folders with 
sub-folders.

It’s all good data, but has nothing to do with just moving data along the 
sneaker net. And not something I want passed around. 

So tell me fellow travelers how do you mark or label thumb drives so 2 months 
or 10 months or years later you can see what’s generally on the drive. My first 
idea was a printed listing of the drives in the pocket location in the case 
with whats on the physical thumb drive. Like an electrical panel listing of 
what breaker turns off the router or bathroom fan or AC.  Open to other ideas & 
help.
