I think it's a matter of trust. Right off, a company needs to trust
that I'm honest, otherwise they shouldn't allow me anywhere near their
datacenter or network. But how can they trust that I'm reasonably
competent in the areas I claim to be, and that I won't make mistakes
that cause big problems? That takes time or guesses or references or
maybe just their gut instinct. I don't know.

The USB is just for emergencies, I can download from my phone just as well, and

programmer from getting information that may save the site, but maybe it's just
me. I can honestly say that no one has ever told me I could not load my stuff,
but honestly I can't remember ever asking anyone if they had a problem with me
doing so.
Most things I could probably just retype, especially when I have the data already
displayable. It seems very short sighted to "lock down" use of a tool that
could very well fix a major problem, but again, maybe it's just that I have never asked
anyone if they minded me fixing their site. :)
