While surfing the tweeter(X) I came across a few seconds clip from a cops body camera that accidentally recorded the seed phrase of a suspect in the state of Nevada. This suspect ran a red light and as a result, he was parked for investigation and eventually, the cop went through his private things and stumbled on his seed phrase written in a scrambled piece of paper and the suspect went ahead to explaining what it was.

This goes to highlight the risk associated with having to handle your seed phrase in public or having it on you at all times.
Key things here:
* Was it within the officers duty to go through what he had on paper?
* Suspect went around and about with his seed phrase
* Suspect ran a red light, putting himself in line for an investigation
* Suspect went out of his way to explain what the phrases was for

It’s one thing to properly store your Bitcoins in none custodian wallets and it’s another thing to safely store away your keys. Someone suggested in the comments that the best means to safe guarding a seed phrase is by memorizing it. While that might be some safe means, you are at risk of a memory loss or forgetfulness and all you need is just to forget the placement of one word.

What are some of the safe means to seed phrase handling:
1. Never carry your seed phrase around like a carry-on, it’s not your mobile phone or purse
2. Never upload your seed phrases online or take screenshots of it.
3. Never handle your seed phrase or access your wallets in public.

Safe practices to seed phrase handling: (I’ll like you guys to add to this some of the means you’ve known to work and use)
A. Writing it down on a metal plate and store away in a vault
B. Having bits of it written down on different pages of books or in several books and safely store it away
C. Never having it on like a carry-on
D. writing it in a will but, your lawyer might have access
E. Storing it in a banks safe deposit box
While D and E might be relatively safe, you must understand that, you are not the sole custody and that means you could loss them as well

Means to add a layer of security to your holdings
* Keep your Bitcoin in none custodian wallet
* You could store your Bitcoin using hardware wallets
* Don’t keep all your holdings in one wallet, you can have an expendable wallet
* Don’t employ the cheapest means to your Bitcoin and Bitcoin wallet’s security

Mind you, there is security in not having to make a thing looking too important as, it doesn’t attract to itself a lot of attention.
What do you guys have to add or criticize about this, the means and possibly what’s the best means that have kept your Bitcoins and See phrases secured over the years.
