    I wonder what security concerns come with moving large amounts of potentially sensitive data physically like this. This is an interesting idea nonetheless.

      I'd imagine some transports would have pretty insane security around them and others not so much at all. Definitely a cool idea and makes sense given the limitations of transfer via the net.
