They get more expensive as you start reaching the current limits, but he'll weigh convenience and security against cost; 16GB cards are very inexpensive. He doesn't need to be schlepping dozens of 4GB cards around. Weigh the risk of fedexing his existing cards home vs. the risk of carrying them with any longer.
Best solution. Use one of the photo sites when you get home. If nothing else, a place like kinko's can burn your images onto a CD so that you can clear the card.
