Absolutely, though the fact that it's r/w'able is going to set some flags
off. Now if you can find somebody who makes R/W CD's that aren't blue,
green, yellow, etc. and instead the clear that is normaly expected you might
pull it off.

You could always compress the fuck out of the data and save it as 2d bar codes
(PDF417) in a printed book, or to photographic slides, or the inside of a silk
tie, or as a tatoo on your ass, or make your own under the skin transponder
chips and implant yourself with hundreds of them, etc...

Yea.  And when customs asks, just say that they're 2d stereograms (the kind
where neat stuff appears if you stare at them crosseyed long enough).
