Exactly. It's called a Juke Box. You stick in a quarter, press a letter
and number, and an arm grabs the appropriate USB stick and inserts it
in the computer's usb slot.


    The mechanism could be used also to backup on a hard disk. Hard 
disks are currently the safest backup method, provided they are run 
periodically, but not continuously; this leads to connect them only for 
the duration of the backups, and it might be used on remote servers. In 
this case, better play with the power supply of the disk than 
insert/extract the usb plug.

..me? ;o)  Maybe dropping usb key "bombs" into those usb holes 
from my r/c B-17E... once I have my model Norden sight set up
straight... ;oD

..yeah, like those random people that you're _not_ talking to, 
because you and they have no idea about each others presence, 
sticking USB sticks into one of the "pc" like server boxes you're 
working on...  e.g. dmesg -Hw in another ssh session would help if 
you set up enough system paranoia, and not too much... like when 
I locked myself out of my isp's bandwidth throttle box...

Now we need to know more about the circumstances.
How are you inserting a USBB stick when the box is far away?
A remote robot in chargeU of e rack of USB sticks?
Random peope in the mall sticking USB sticks into the kiossk you're taking to?
Or something less far-fetched?
