"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."

Why don't they simply ban Windows?
