We got a new head IT security guy. Shortly after starting, he somehow got a virus on his laptop from a thumb drive he picked up somewhere. The solution was to ban thumbdrives. So he sent out an email to the entire company that said basically: "Due to security risks, we are banning all USB thumbdrives except for these special ones that are encrypted and have fingerprint readers built into them. They cost $200 (for a 4 GB drive). Oh and they are backordered and won't be available for 6 months. If you want one, let us know and we will put you on the waitlist." It was almost universally ignored...
