Sounds like it should be mandatory that every government official in the world be issued with one of Fujitsu's new USB keys - it's still in prototype but the idea is the key can be set to automatically destruct data after a set timeframe, or if it's plugged into an unauthorised computer.
Like a spy gadget from the movies, this peripheral can be set to self-destruct after a certain period. Fortunately, the damage is not physical and refers only to the data on the device. That's not all. This USB storage also contains a processor that can detect if the thumbdrive is plugged into an unauthorized machine and delete contents immediately. For even more security, this Fujitsu peripheral can prevent information from being emailed as an attachment or printed in hardcopy.
Now we're talking. It's still in trial phase but sounds like a welcome innovation.
