If the hostile USB thingy (which to casual inspection might just appear to be a USB cable) acts like a keyboard, I'm not sure what the computer would do. I'm not sure what would happen if I were to connect a second (normal) USB keyboard to my debian computer. I'll have to test that sometime.
You can plug in multiple mice and keyboards, they all work simultaneously. I recall me and my brother teasing each other with my spare wireless mouse...
Plug in a new USB printer or webcam, it almost immediately works, unless you don't have the proper drivers.
Seems like USB is assumed non-hostile, which may be good or bad depending on the use case.
