I'd love to see him explain to TSA why he's got a suitcase with nothing but stripped down USB drives and a pigeon mask in it.
- compsciphd 3y agoA couple of years ago I bought 21 14TB HDs in the US that I unboxed and packed into a suitcase (actually mostly carry-on (to give me the most control of the banging they would receive) a few were with my clothes) and brought back with me. USA had no issues with it, when I got to my destination, they required me to pay import duties on them (still cheaper than buying locally). No one gave me any problems from a security pov.

Don't you just love living in developing countries, where tech products required for productivity are much more expensive than in the US because of dumb duties, but wages are much lower, as pricing hardware beyond the means of the average worker definitely helps the country's economic development. /s
