The project here is quite neat. But I wonder if your idea would also work and ask myself how competent the forensic teams of airport security really are. Or even if they are, they certainly don't have a lot of time per device.

IT specialists are expensive and it would be shame if we waste that on something benign as airport security which was mainly established by paranoia and the wish to save face.

An what exactly are they targeting? Are they looking for howToBlowUpAnAirplane.txt? Just some industrial espionage? Just some display of authority? I don't really get what would prompt these measures.

Was there ever anything they found on a device someone took on a plane?

That doesn't seem it would increase airport security too much.

But it definitely increases the security of the people who control airport security.
