"When someone hands you their USB key to copy something, you always decline, 
and instead offer your known, clean USB key."

Nonsense.  I wouldn't let anyone stick my nice clean USB drive in *their* filthy
computer!

"You would also prefer one-time, disposable, Tupperware-like memory drives if
they existed."

OK, got me.

"Any security book you read is covered in pen from the technical corrections
you've made."

Ha!  If I did that I wouldn't have any pens left ...

"You suspect that every banner and Flash ad on every Web site is hosting 
malicious JavaScript."

What banners and Flash ads?  I run Netscape 4.8 with no plugins and JavaScript
disabled.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.  The secret of
getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into
small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.
