    You can make an immutable USB.

    Alternatively, they just need an automated ‘wipe/format/re-image’ processnas part of the check-in.

    In fact, that would make it easier for them to maintain a current image.

      I was really iffy about this but I like the idea of having the library reformatting the drive after the return. Sure there is still firmware hacks or hacks that could be transferred to the library but if someone is going to do that I think there are other things to worry about.

      And I think the OS needs to be a variant of Linux, really get the push away from Apple, Google, Microsoft, Sun, etc.
