SPIES AND AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES: “The article notes numerous incidents, including an American researcher who was invited to give a talk abroad. Then someone there asked for a copy of her paper, inserted a thumb drive into her laptop, and downloaded every document she had.” Never let anybody attach their thumb drive to your computer. Leaving aside incidents like this, a huge proportion of them have viruses. If somebody wants a file, email it.

Of course, I pity the fool who copies my hard drive and then has to read the contents. But No-Doz would be happy.
