I remember back in high school we had this computer lab that was all locked down. Didn't allow opening the CD-ROM drives, only allowed certain educational websites, etc. I put a little remote access app on my share drive as a way to open my own CD drive, mostly just to see if I could do it. The school's computer guy came and found me and was like "hey, a file pinged as malware, what's up with that" and we had a fun discussion about it and I deleted it and we moved on with our lives. I didn't think about it again. Years later, I looked back with horror at how badly that could have gone for me.

Your school didn’t have paperclips?

Ah, you young whippersnappers with your labs and networks and CDs... my high school just got one Commodore PET, that was "the school computer" in my day.

Fortunately, I got on well with the math teacher who had charge of it, and he'd let me take it home over the weekends. Those were the days...

Oh, I meant to imply that you would procure and assemble your tools once on-site. What you don’t pack-in, you may not need to pack-out, etc.
