BitLocker works on SD cards

While doing some research on BitLocker, I happened to notice that I had a 32GB SD card laying on my desk. (It's amazing that so much storage can fit in so little physical space!) Curious as to whether SD cards could be secured with BitLocker, I put it in my machine's reader and opened the BitLocker management UI.

It appears that BitLocker To Go does in fact support SD cards; they're removable disks just like flash drives. Of course, cameras and other devices won't be able to read/unlock the drive, but it's interesting that it's possible to carry secure super-compact storage.
