I am in the Military and this affects all computers connected U.S. Military networks worldwide. Starting Monday they disabled access to USB ports and Optical Drives by users. It has been very inconvenient, now the only way to transfer documents between computers is by email, and that’s restricted to 4mbs for most users. If you want to transfer a large PowerPoint presentation you have to get permission from your local IT department. The bigger picture is this is a small inconvenience to protect our Military Networks, and we really have no choice but to comply.
