Looks like they are good to go. No CDs either, wow.

Not a bad idea, I know of quite a few organizations that prohibit
the use of private memory card/usb storage devices!
One never knows "how" well these usb devices are travelled/and what is on them,
unknowingly to the owner!

Dear abloke,
That was the exact idea in my mind when i posted the info'! If only the Defense labs in USA had such restrictions, China would not have developed such hi-tech nuclear missiles, thanks to the data theft and transfer to China! North Korea which gets it's technology from China, would have been like a subdued cat rather than a growling tiger, ready to pounce on anyone, anytime! You really don't know the fear factor N.Korea is in Japan, South Korea and USA!

Sounds like yet another failed attempt at don't ask, don't tell.
