Hidden camera rule #17: try not to put them in things that people intently stare at as soon as they meet you.

The AME-105 fake ID card gets a lot of things right—this disguise is in many ways ideal for spy-camming, as the circuitry, battery, 4GB of flash memory and 352×288/15fps video camera can all fit quite naturally into the body.
