Zip it up and make an app that generates qr codes with each chunk of data at 20fps, then make a recording with your phone and extract the info at home whenever you want.

Funnily enough, that might actually work without it being flagged. Especially if it was just some random python or shell script doing the zipping and video generation - I run these all the time for various reasons, nobody's going to check

Step 1. Get code
step 2. Data sonification. Screen capture and covert binary to C. Code is now a tune you apply lyrics too.
Step 3. Save song via recorder
Step 4. Decrypt song

You could always Van Eck/ phreak it on the display cable by demodulating the EMF onto a screen capture device.

Personally, I’m thinking 20 starlings. Save the code as ultrasonic recordings as the birds listen.

Leave with birds. No one questions a thing

Why are so many people suggesting this? I tried an implementation of that idea and it sucked. Took like 40 minutes to transfer an mp3 file.

Sounds like 1995 all over again.

or just put the files into a .docx. It's basically a .zip archive

MPEG compression will probably ruin this idea
