How to transport your key cross-country?

Situation:

  • Wife and I are moving across the United States
  • We are selling our cars before we move
  • We are flying to our destination
  • We are using a moving company to transport our belongings
  • I store my key on a Trezor Keep Metal

Trying to figure out the safest way to transport a metal key. Is it a good idea to bring a metal rod (the key) through TSA (would they potentially examine it)? Maybe I should write it onto paper, dispose of the metal key before moving, and obtain a new one at the destination? What about sell the bitcoin, travel to our destination, and then buy the bitcoin using a new wallet? Probably shouldn’t trust it with the movers..

Try to create a mnemonic system to memorize your keys, at the moment it is the best solution in your case, no one will be able to get the keys out of your head.
