Why don't they simply ban Windows?
Wouldn't it be easier to ban war?
A security guy on TV last month mentioned a great way to hack into a
secure network is the put a stealth program on a bunch of thumb drives and
sprinkle them around the parking lot of the facility you want to compromise.
At least one idiot will take the thumb drive to his computer and plug it in!

Subject: [CGUYS] Are USB Drives Dangerous?

"Those little USB thumb drives are very helpful little critters for
transporting data easily between one computer and another, you have to
admit. However, they are also very useful for introducing malware into
a system. That was that the reason the Pentagon banned their use in
November 2008, declaring that “Memory sticks, thumb drives and camera
flash memory cards have given the adversary the capability to exploit
our poor personal practices and have provided an avenue of attack ...
malicious software (malware) programmed to embed itself in memory
devices has entered our systems."
