More seriously, just keep them in a card wallet or the original

So, am I being overcautious keeping my CF cards in seperate, lead lined,
hermetically sealed containers ? Doh, the trouble I could have avoided
at the airport !

Not at all. You need to take that much care to prevent the cards
from being damaged while dining. Exposure to nuoc mam or habañera
hot sauce can be fatal to the cards unless they are mil-spec. parts.
But your precautions don't need to go that far. Glass Mayonnaise
jars work just as well.
