Any USB Peripheral is a Potential Security Threat

[climber]

I situation where I can see widespread possibilities of stealing data is the notebook coolers (pads) that have active fans in the underlying heatsink surface. These fans plug into the laptop via USB cables often times. If such a company selling these kinds of notebook coolers were say to be infiltrated by a government and such trojan hardware tech installed, many thousands or tens of thousands could be at risk. A very disastrous situation if say corporations were to recommend using such notebook coolers to preserve notebook like, unbeknown-st to the corporation.

2)"Be careful what you stick it into."
3)STD's are real people.

What a minute college kids finally find out about this? Their parents must be crying when they find out where all that money is going to.
