I agree with David -- Merely putting a file on USB storage, is just a file and can be read from/written to like any other file.
However, the dongles that are spoken of are not typically of the storage variety. This is based on what kind of hardware class (device) they show up as to the OS. I believe what you're after is some sort of crypto token device. AKA a hardware token. (like this: http://www.rockey.nl/en/products/rockey-products.html) We could go back and forth all day, but since CF is an interpreted, script-based language, you really couldn't stop someone from subverting any hardware tokens, whether or not they were USB Storage or USB Crypto keys.
