Won't this be one of the primary things good little security guards are trained to recognize?(even if their training consists of teaching them that a big flashing screen on their x-ray machine with "THERMITE - DETAIN - CALL CLUEFUL SUPERVISOR" means they should take action)
Stick with electrics.a nice camera flash capacitor's energy driven through your memory ought to do it. operating system on flash rom, nothing on the hard drive but encrypted data (random bits,just noise,honest) and decoy data.

Oh,great.I;m supposed to embed a radio transmitter
in my body to AVOID attention?
Or magnetic?Love to explain that to airport security.even if it doesn't transmit constantly,love to pass through a bug sweep."um,sir,your arm is a bug"

Also, if you can manage it, the non-executables that you swap around, like
text files, should be fully human-readable. Something like HTML, but with
better control. (Perhaps a coordinate system for placing of elements like
pictures of underlines.) This way, you can visually inspect the word
processor documents without having to worry about if someone hid a command
in there. This will, however, make your word processor documents much
larger for the same output.

bravo! here's the importaent point.you can protect the things that would bother them- copies of the constitution or an underground newsletter you're distributing.things like perl scripts,even cute 3 liners,or gifs, they just don't care about whatever they may say to the contrary.store'm in the clear,if they're disassembling your machine to recover bits off the hard drive you're in bloody deep anyway,being prosecuted for some bootleg gifs is the least of your worries.
