For me, it'd be a drive K:, or a /mnt/pen or something else...

It could be somewhat of a risk. Mass-Data transfering abilities can be abused in the wrong hands. We are in the day where the Mega-Byte and Giga-Byte is viewed as a slice of cake. The more you have the better, but it is easy to get, and therefore not really all that valuable.

Anything is a risk. If you really know what you are doing, you might even be able to (from my view) transfer data from your sound-card's line out onto your Walkman Tape Player. I haven't tried it yet, but I am guessing that it is possible. You'd need to have a specialized program though, and that little pen in your left pocket does happen to have it... Anything is a risk, but they can be contained, though you might end up limiting what a user is able to do. Security isn't just software and permission based, but limiting what hardware a person has access to. So yes, I am guessing that this could be a threat if not handled properly...

/me looks at the paragraph again, and notices a lot of his opinion is in that, which may or may not be cold, hard facts...
