    "Developed stored procedures for an international banking organization. During this project I used PL/SQL and was exposed to domain knowledge in low latency transaction processing. Familiar with ACH protocols and international wire transfers."

    "Designed, developed and maintained a relational database servicing 3,000 client machines processing 46,000 transactions per day with high throughput and low latency for an entertainment company based out of Nevada."

    If I saw those on your resume, I wouldn't even make the connection to gambling or illegal activity, and even if I did suspect it, who cares?

    "This is going on your PERMANENT RECORD!"

    Just emphasize your technology role and put some positive spin on the industry/sector, if its actually illegal then cite confidentiality agreements that prevent you from disclosing the actual company and flip the conversation back on the role and skill set.

    why dont you just encode it all on your fingernails every few months.

    just be sure to avoid eating any wendy's chili, identity theft is a problem you need to be wary of, but if you use RAID5 you should be fine.

    you may want to also consider mirroring the data to both hands and feet. shoes are important to maintaining data integrity, on toenails. i believe a good manecure and pedicure will increase the write speeds, but that technique is also listed by the NSA as the official method to purge this storage medium, so you should remember to re-write the data afterwards. also be sure to always dispose of nail clippings in different locations, i reccomend subways for guarenteed dispersal and data hiding.

    you may encounter some performance hits when using RAID5 during your flight to freedom from NYC, but hopefully you wont be accessing the data much when this situation occurs.

    and if you didnt consider keeping all your info on an iPod shuffle with an audio will & testament and comments to loved ones then in the worst case scenario you could atleast have some kickin tunes when the zombies come chasing after you.
