No, they're not. They're the same security issue. A mounted file
system's security is only as good as the access control provided by the

I bought a 16GB USB thumbdrive from Staples last week to use as a
shuttle for some documents, scripts, and programs' data folders that
will be used on my desktop and my laptop in turns. I'll probably be
