With the revelation of the BadUSB exploit recently made public the idea of frivolously connecting to alien USB devices is a worse idea than ever.

Be careful. I got got by a nasty virus on one of these. Luckily, I was using a laptop that didnt actually have anything useful on.

also, watch out for ones wired up to batteries... https://www.instructables.com/id/USB-Dead-Drop-Tester/

I'm not sure I understand. What is this?

Technically it's called a USB Dead Drop. It can kind of be thought of as like a digital geocash. Anyone can hook up to it and see what files are there, and of course can change them as well. Here is a Wikipedia article about them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_dead_drop
