The question is, in what depth does the search go to? I mean, do they scrutinize your objects (& devices) or do they just do an ordinary check?

If you carry (give or take) 1 TB of data with you, a seed phrase is about 0.000000001% of that. I can think of so many ways to just hide a few bytes in that mountain of data, that it would take a very long time to find if you don't know where to look.

The problem with "hiding" something is you might forget how to find it.

Let's do this, my seed phrase is surprise peace famous office settle romance fatigue wood snack episode occur atom.
I write a letter about a 1. surprise I bought for my wife, but forgot at my 4. office. Then I take a picture of a 3. famous 2. peace advocate. I add a small subtle 6. romance text to an old picture of my wife, remembering when we 5. settled down. Just in case, I'll just remember words 7 and 8, and create a similar system for the remaining words. Of course, I restore the original file date on all edited files.

My head is spinning just listening to that description, Loyce. Shocked

Now that I think about it, just memorizing the words is probably easier Cheesy

yeah it probably is but I don't even think you could memorize reliably a 24 word seed phrase, Loyce. I know I couldn't. People over-estimate what they can remember not only in the short term but definitely in the longterm. A 24 word seed phrase is impossible for the average person. Let's just leave it at that.
