How can I secure data I need to carry with me? via Ask Ars

Ever wondered how you can transport large amounts of data in a safe and secure method??  Well, in a way, we have been doing it for years, consider this.  Armored Truck, its main task is to transport large amounts of money from one place to another.  For years armored trucks have been soft targets for bank robbers which carry the illusion of security.  Just watch "the Town" and "Groundhogs Day" if you don't believe me.  Another option is what those spy guys do by handcuffing a briefcase to their arms.  The method also has the illusion of security assuming a) the guy carrying the briefcase wants to keep his arm and b) that the briefcase is armored and/or protected by a good lock.

The issues with both of these methods is that once you remove the human element there is only a thin veil separating the robber from the goods.  

Ask Ars takes a comical approach to the question of transporting secure data from one place to another that removes the human element from the actual transport and assumes that pedo bear doesn't get you first.

Question: What's the most secure way to transport 100GB of data via Sneakernet?

Sharing small files across the Internet with a good amount of security keeps getting easier, but large datasets can still create long, painful upload times. In this video edition of Ask Ars, we cover the most secure ways to transport large datasets by trekking the dusty trail, otherwise known as Sneakernet, even with predators in hot pursuit.

Them bears are scary too.
