    Nowadays it’s microSD cards.

      I mean, microSD makes for much more interesting drama. You can hide it in the lining of a suit, sew it underneath the skin, hide it in a ball point pen, in your pet. MicroSd drama is much more sneaky.

      Nah. Nuclear launch sites just retired 8" floppies required for launch verification like maybe 5 years ago.
