just wondering, if you found a usb drive, would you plug it into your computer to see what was on it.
If so, you best read this article (http://www.darkreading.com/document.asp?doc_id=95556&WT.svl=column1_1)
Its an interesting way to steal passwords and such using usb drives.

I would and I admit to it bacause then DOn't lose it...or don't keep confidential info. on it without knowing the risk....Its only confidential to you and as confidential as you make the data on it. It is like if someone died and gave you their usb flash dirve would you hook it up or say no because it had confidential info..IT is not if you see the info. or not, but if it it used and by the way the goverment agencies track you anyway and know all your confidential info, and so that is no diff. than an average joe at looling at the info...Someone in higher power can abuse just and someone who is not and someone who is in power is more likely than someone who is not..
