Kingmax Super Stick - 4GB

I just ordered one of these. I don't have a huge music collection. In fact I'm sitting under 2GB so it should be plenty, however, it's freaking tiny.

It's also perfect for hiding so the TSA (They Steal Anything) doesn't take it to "examine"

Doesn't the whole thing fit in the arm rest whether it's 32GB or 4GB? Why would a thief open the arm rest, trace the USB wire and steal the 32GB one (slightly larger than your thumb) but leave the smaller one (if it were there instead)? I'm not sure I get the logic? Why not buy a much larger drive (in storage space, for proportionally less money) so you can own more than 40 CDs (or so, at 320 kbs). That's a really expensive drive (per GB) and if you are worried about a thief then just get a cheap drive (as low as $12 for 4 GB) rather than a tiny drive (that's just as obvious because it still has to be plugged in)? Tiny only makes sense if it's less obvious than the larger version and I don't see how this would be less obvious unless you unplugged and hid it every time you left the car.

Just my thoughts...

It was $13 and I don't have a ton of music. I don't have any other thumb drives in my possession over 1GB and none of those will fit in the armrest anyway.
