Half of people plug in USB drives they find in the parking lot

what you SHOULD do

lots of smart people responding, but only one had advice on the appropriate response to finding an unknown-sourced USB -- and that was to put it in somebody else's computer -- an ethically questionable move.

So WHAT should you do? I would assume either

a) there is somebody who legitimately is missing their USB, so what should I do to be safe?

b) some spy person is doing something BAD, so ???

c) ?

Is there some existing security harness that I could buy/build and use?

Is there a set of "safe" procedures for accessing without compromising the host system?
