BusKill – A USB kill cord for laptops

I think the idea is that you might only have about a second to kill the device. Yes, you can throw your computer in a bathtub of saltwater or whatever but that's not really the point.

You better make sure that 'tampering with evidence' carries a lower penalty than the thing that you're trying to hide.

How can you be charged with tampering with evidence by epoxying your ram dimms?

It's not as though you tampered with the device after the confiscation. Intent is also hard to prove on such a thing. I didn't want my dimms to fall out at any time if the machine was dropped is pretty good plausible deniability.

Thinking that you are smarter than the judge you will appear before is not a strategy I would recommend.
