It's a question of trust -- who checks each and every thumb drive just bought at the store. OTOH, just having an idea of the sheer complexity hidden beneath that seemingly simple surface may help to cope with the consequences. After all, there's a little computer hidden in that seemingly humble stick. Some folks have succeeded in reprogramming that (some of the badusb links on Hackaday are of this kind). That's extremely difficult to test: imagine the thing programmed to get only active during full-moon and behave otherwise as a normal stick? Cheers -- t
