[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1884272, member: 56379"] In addition to what Lifeisabeach mentioned...I'm not confident that the thumb drive couldn't fall out of the shirt pocket (if it's there all of the time). If it gets lost...and someone finds it...depending what's stored on the thumb drive (account names, URL's, passwords)...and how it's stored (encrypted or not)...someone finding it could easily access everything. Storing passwords on a thumb drive that's always with you (in your shirt pocket) could be much more risky than storing passwords on a computer. Especially if that computer is a desktop computer that never leaves your home. Nick [/QUOTE]
