Imagine this being an automated workflow. Where the microSD card is both a bootable image and also an encrypted recovery / LUKS partition, which includes the BIOS flashing mechanisms and OS install mechanisms.

The temporary OS must keep some personal data in tact, otherwise you'll end up with a full search. So the "not so private data" has to be discoverable.

That would be tails on steroids, and help a lot of journalists and reporters while crossing borders.

Flashing the BIOS would probably be the hardest part, considering that libreboot will raise suspicions.
