[BFix] OT geek help

[John Lindblom]

I've run the U3 apps on one my USB drives and they're pretty simple, 
stable and definitely convenient if you want to plug in to virtually any 
machine and use apps or tools for your job (like for me having portable 
SSH, telnet, SFTP, web server, etc).

Personally I wouldn't be all that concerned carrying around encrypted 
and protected data on a USB drive.  It may not always be the best idea, 
but if it was really an issue there would be millions of laptops in the 
corporate world chained to a desk.  Heck it's a lot easier for me to 
grab other people's passwords, data, files, or whatever off the wire on 
my workstation than bother with hacking the encryption on a U3 drive.  
If you're paranoid, run an additional U3 encryption app on top of the 
built-in stuff.
