I guess one could setup a jammer or some room that could completely cut off any signal possibility. However then they could put something even more malicious then just spying into the device. As much as a tin foil hat theory that is, maybe it's just best to not know what's on the drive cause it's more than likely not worth even the slightest bit of trouble. Sad the world has come to this

...or you could just plug it in a public PC (eg library ones) and that's it.

That's not a very responsible thing to do if you believe the drive could be malicious.

It's easy enough to get free or cheap computers off craigslist. Don't need a modern one to see whats on a thumb drive.
