    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    Well, one way would be to unload the usb_storage module if you just want to keep people from plugging in USB drives (thumb drives, iPods, cell phones, etc), but let them use printers, etc. Then you can reload it when you need admin access to an external drive.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
