This opinion of mine will be valid (AFAIC) until

MS is going to lockdown usb devices in Longhorn.
They are beginning to learn, then.. But, USB is not enough; all portable (PnP) devices should be /lockdownable/..
IMO, anything that is likely to bring in, or take out data (inc. binaries) needs to be authorized and authenticated. Linux is no exception.
