I'm looking forward to the next installment. This is getting very close to my own research on lost USB drives, also known as the Honey Stick Project. I have so far distributed about 20 USB sticks around various publicly accessable areas in and outside of Ottawa. I plan to do more in other cities, through my own travels and with the help of others. For current result stats and more background please visit the website: http://www.honeystickproject.com While my experiment is not as controlled as the above institutional initiatives, it is providing some interesting results about the psychology of people who find lost devices. - Scott Great article!
