Yeah -- back in 2000 I used a Rainbow iKey, which was one of the first USB tokens. Then I discovered the downside of USB tokens: they don't take well to going through the wash. (You know how when you pull clothes out of the dryer they've got all kinds of static electricity on them? USB tokens don't take kindly to that.) I dunno, maybe today we've got USB tokens that can survive the wash. Wouldn't surprise me. Unfortunately, I don't have the money to make a good empirical test.
