Reply #3: The very idea of allowing thumb drives anywhere near classified stuff is boneheaded. [View All]

If you want security, you have to maintain control, physical and connective. It's like the idiocy of allowing all those cellphone cameras where you don't really want pictures taken, or putting DoD machines on the internet with no firewall and default server configurations, something I saw many times in the 90s. Security through obscurity.

Maybe they can come up with a cyber-condom to keep the thumb drives from being infected. (Joke.)
