So what is your solution for the folks that carry those USB keychain

plug them in to whatever machine they are sitting in front of.  Had

wanted to read my email man"....

Any virus there should be caught by your AV software. No different than a
floppy or CD.

And recent experience shows that the virus is a world-wide issue before
the new signatures come out for it.
