If you're going to be using USB drives anyway, then using them to move files into the country would be faster.

- youainti 1y agobtw, veracrypt is the name if the follow up project. truecrypt shut down over a decade ago rather abruptly, so anything labeled truecrypt today is suspect as either out of date or potential malware.

- slater 1y agopretty sure that's never happened, it's an urban legend
