But so long as there's any amount of reference material that you don't want to allow, there's a benefit to making it harder to smuggle in. As for USB ports being disabled by default, that probably varies from place to place. We certainly don't do it here; we want students to be able to backup their work. | |

And, are you telling me disabling USB ports on lab machines isn't the standard already? :) | |
