Since the world has gone security mad, what better way to indulge your new found paranoia than a Fingerprint USB Flash Drive from Apacer.

This 4GB drive seems like it was especially created for MoD staff who just can't seem to stop losing their laptops and other devices filled with highly sensitive information. This way, when they leave their USB stick in the back of a taxi or in their car overnight, there’s at least some chance that the culprits won’t get your National Insurance, NHS, driver’s licence, passport and bank account details. Which is nice.

The Apacer drive is rubber-coated for durability and uses “advanced fingerprint recognition technology”. And best of all, it only costs £30 here. Jump now for the full specs.-Martin Lynch
