Thumbdrive of Doom

NP: Herbie Hancock, Possibilities

I think Lifehacker might be giving people bad ideas, or maybe it's just me. Regarding Eraser, a program for "secure removal" of files from hard drives, they point out:

Eraser is a tiny program. You can fit it onto a floppy—which helps when you want to create what they call a “Boot Nuke Disk”. This allows you to boot from the floppy and erase all the information on a given computer.

Seriously, tell me I'm not the only who thought of how you could totally wipe out somebody else's computer on the fly with this. Because if it's just me, I'm evil, and I really don't want to be evil.
