I wonder about the practicalities of *fastening* a streamer to a micro-SD
card -- they're so tiny, and as far as I know there are no promises that
any particular part of them is free of electronics (to permit drilling a
hole there).
I guess even just sticking a thin streamer to one side with cyanoacrylate
improves the odds over no streamer...
