Take a mouse. Remove its own electronics. Substitute a Teensy 2 which
emulates a mouse AND a thumb drive, but only after a certain
combination of mouse keys is pressed. Later, at your leisure, remove
the micro-sd card and stick it inside a hollow nickle. Walk out with
it. Leave the mouse. Easy-peasy.
Trust nothing that plugs into a USB port. Not even an extender cable.
