It wouldn't be that hard to write a program that takes an arbitrary
sequence of bits and uniquely encodes them into a series of machine
instructions that actually execute and don't do anything surprising.
So you could have a working executable that hides encrypted data. At
some point Customs is going to start wondering why you have so many
executables, though, and why they're so big...
