Linux's (and Windows and Solaris and ...) attempts to "fix" this problem is one of the reasons I'd consider Linux (and Windows and ...) crappy. A complicated solution that creates far more problems than it ever solves, and usually at the worst times possible (i.e., disaster recovery, where you are trying to rebuild a failed system). The tools to deal with this are already in OpenBSD as I and Peter indicated. We don't need an "automatic" solution that penalizes everyone for an edge-case problem (and yes, I'd consider this an edge case. I can't imagine a serious, industrial firewall with USB interfaces).
