1. A memory device, comprising:
- a housing;
a non-volatile memory that stores data, in said housing;
a wireless communication device, in said housing, in communication with said non-volatile memory and with a wireless network;
a controller for said non-volatile memory which controls data transfer of said non-volatile memory; and
a sensor, that senses a locational parameter of said housing;
wherein said controller is responsive to said locational parameter sensed by said sensor to allow full access to said non-volatile memory only when said housing has a specified locational parameter.
