But otherwise, sounds like a neat idea...
if you’ve ever seen the CX MP card kits, they are supposed to be secured inside a metal case, and info can only be seen by slipping out the card after detaching the metal cable. Someone has to tamper with your belongings in order to access info. Same principle why some Tumi and Victorinox bags have the tracer on an inside pocket, instead of on display outside. And if you do a search on amazon, there are metal tag covers that only partially expose the card it carries.
