As I read that article, the "security risks" are from USB drives with sensitive
data being stolen and from people using them to copy and remove data they're
not supposed to walk off with. How does either of these things apply to a
public terminal in a library. Seriously, what possible data would a library
put on a public computer that they need to protect from leaving the building?
