Are you afraid of the black helicopters flying overhead? Maybe you owe the IRA IRS a bunch of money and want to keep your financial records from prying eyes. Well, if you answered yes to any of the above then the USB phone jack is for you. Sure you could hollow out a book and place your USB stick inside, but most cops are on to that trick. A much better idea would be to wire a USB cord to the phone plate and making a USB cord with a phone jack terminal at one end, you will be able to access your secret data and nobody will be the wiser. Instructables has a great write up on how to build your own.
