Lucas123 writes "The State of Washington's Division of Child support has forced hundreds of workers to turn in personal USB flash drives and has instead begun issuing corporate-style USB drives so they can centrally monitor, configure and prevent unauthorized access to storage devices. So far about 150 common drives have been issued. The agency eventually plans to destroy all existing thumb drives collected as part of the security policy change. "We do periodic risk analysis of our systems, and one of the things that came up is the use of thumb drives — they were everywhere. We had a hard time telling which were privately owned and which were owned by the state," said Brian Mann, data security officer for Division of Child Support." Link to Original Source
