I don't know if this is what you had in mind, but. If somebody sends
you a *bearer* payment by email, you can print this out and put it
in your pocket. There's the disadvantage of having to copy the
characters by hand again into a file or email, or OCR copying.

If you send a bearer payment to yourself (PGP encrypted), you
can be sure of what you are getting. Decrypt it. Print it. 
A payment from somebody else, you would have to clear it with 
the server to be sure. But after that you could make a bearer 
payment to yourself for that amount.

Now this generally wouldn't be practicable, of course. Except
occasionally.
