Actually, what would be interesting is if you could find a way to squeeze the card ( or it's circuity) in along with the floppy and not damage either. Then store useless data on the floppy to deter suspicion. Or, you could design a mechanism to emulate the magnetic material of the floppy and attach some kind of mechanical mechanism that will trigger it to read from a storage device (sd card, rom, eeprom) or cause it to send garbage and make the computer think the floppy needs to be formatted.

Is it actually easy to get the cover off the floppy disk and gain your SD card again? Great Instructable.

Yep, just pull off the plastic/metal clip and unfold the two halves of the disk.
