|  Pentagon Bans Flash Drives Pentagon Bans Flash Drives According to this MSNBC news item, the Pentagon has decided to ban flash drives. Wait, what?!? You mean to tell me that up until now, the Pentagon has allowed flash drives? Yikes. While defense officials would not publicly confirm the ban, messages were sent to department employees informing them of the new restrictions. As part of the ban, the Pentagon was collecting any of the small flash drives that were purchased or provided by the department to workers, according to one message distributed to employees. |
