I haven't been in that world for over 20 years. But, the desktop I had would sent an IT alert, and self-lock you out if it detected any storage medium plugged into it by USB. CD player, USB stick, external drive.

That was grounds for immediate termination. Some folks plugged in wireless mice/keyboards and were duly chewed out for that. As those were not "storage devices", they were not fired. But there were a few fools who plugged a Bluetooth receiver in, so they could play their music through the speakers. They were walked to the door with access revoked within hours. The contractor at the base made this policy crystal clear.

Hence, my shock that Pfc Bradley's ability exposed an enormous hole in what was a feared network to do your job on.
