ThinkGeek offers the James Bond Stealth Camera , a digital camera that records sound as well, all stuffed into a--are you ready for this?--cigarette lighter! And it sets you back less than $100. Then The Register tells us of the USB Swiss Army Knife . No, the USB doesn't help you gut that carp, it's a separate USB memory stick that swings out of the knife like the blades or scissors. Now you can keep your passwords next to your razor-sharp blades, except on the plane of course. Remember that if you're carting along one of those cool gadgets that needs to be plugged into household current, you may need to do some shopping for plug convertors or transformers because European voltage is twice what American sockets connect up to--and the number of cycles per second is different as well. Look at our Electricity in Europe directory for information you may really need before you plug in.
