I did think about hiding the SD chip, the reality made it a little difficult. There were two setsof eyes that I knew of watching me, I don't know how many hidden eyes were around. Possibly more, being a paranoid state. I knew that security would check the camera but I didn't realise they would go through my entire shots.And not just mine but everyone who had cameras. It just shows how determined they are to protect (or hide) themselves from the rest of the world. Hi thanks for your comments.

They're certainly small enough for insertion into all manner of crevices. Or did you know in advance they'd be looking through your camera?

The North Korean security is not so unique to repressive communist regimes - plenty of Western countries are revoking the rights and privacy protections of travelers and citizens alike...all in the name of "security".
