Yeah, not the same industry, but I’d never dream of putting valuable stuff on an unencrypted drive, shocked anyone has somehow missed all the stories of laptops getting stolen with secret documents on etc over the years.

    One of my coworkers was once tasked with taking an encrypted database over to a hospital via sneakernet. He posted a selfie to twitter while on the subway with the handcuffed device, saying he was doing James Bond missions or something to that affect. He got a call SO FAST by our irate director asking him WTF he thought he was doing.

    handcuffed device

    I'm surprised he wasn't stopped. I can't imagine the authorities would look very kindly on someone handcuffed to a thing they're holding, encrypted database or no.

    Why?

    It'd seem a bit suspicious, wouldn't it?

    I don't see how or why. You're obviously carrying something of value. If anything you'd be more concerned about attracting criminal attention. You're not doing anything illegal, and no cop wants to mess with anybody rich enough to afford handcuffed couriers.
