Yes
Unload the USB modules from the kernel. For example, if you do an lsmod:
$ /sbin/lsmod |grep hci
uhci_hcd 23633 0
ohci_hcd 22725 0
ehci_hcd 32333 0
You will see these modules. The uhci_hcd and ohci_hcd modules are for
the USB 1.0/1.1 and ehci_hcd is for USB 2.0. Remove these modules with
the rmmod command:
# rmmod ehci_hcd
You can blacklist the modules by messing with udev to prevent them from
loading in the first place.
Here's another method suggested by the NSA
<http://www.nsa.gov/snac/index.cfm?MenuID=scg10.3.1> Select from the
list on the right hand side. The NSA method will only affect storage
class devices and leave mice and keyboards operational.
