Part of the problem here is network design. For example, if when laptops are
brought in they were only allowed to connect to a wireless network and that
wireless network was on the far side of the firewall (perhaps slightly more
access than from the internet but still majorly firewalled) and treated as
untrusted systems which they in fact are, then it would not be such an
issue.

So what is your solution for the folks that carry those USB keychain
memories?  People carry those around with virus infected files and
plug them in to whatever machine they are sitting in front of.  Had
people I never seen before try to plug them in to my hosts.  "Just
wanted to read my email man"....
