I stand corrected. Forgot about this possible avenue. But this will still 
require the person already has access to the system.
I think for most users with just a personal desktop, this is less likely.

It does bring another possible access, most servers have iKVM/IPMI systems 
installed for remote management. Those also allow USB devices to be connected 
over network. I would, however, class access to these parts of the system as 
"physical" access.
