But I have a simple question:
Why do so much trouble with keys inside other keys, just to give to a dumb border guard a decoy wallet or even give them a reason to search, when you could just send a nice email letter to your mom, inserting just the fucking 12 words into a 1000 words letter text and ONLY you know the real position of the words for your seed?
So you cross a border with empty pockets and fuck'em'all...
I did such thing a s test in 2016. In an airport. Just me with nothing on me. They asked me: sir, did you declare something else?"
I said: "yes I carry 12 millions fiat coins with me, is that a problem?" I said "fiatcoins" just to fuck around with them, thinking that I carry a shitload of money...
They were definitely nervous because I had nothing on me. Seeing them in a complicated situation, I told them: all is in my head...
Then I just walked away.
Later I stick this nice BTC sticker on their billboards... just to fuck around more.
When I see people carrying with them obvious HW that even the dumbest airport guard knows what is it, I just laugh. Carry nothing, give them nothing. Be smart and use smart ways to hide your stash.
Even the shitiest USB stick can carry an encrypted seed.
So yeah, that was a brilliant tactic. I just want to compile as many ideas as possible like this so folks have options when they end up in these type of situations. I liked how my idea was a little simpler than the border wallet, but this is simpler still. You obviously just want to make sure the email is preserved! Haha
Now I’m even more curious where you are from and now live. Obviously will probably never learnt that though.

Imagine you are at the airport with a bunch of images on your phone. Each image is a wallet with a steganographied seed inside....
Absolutely nobody will have the idea that each picture could have 100 BTC inside.
Cats pictures, or with you and your family at the beach.
Fuck'em.
