I chuckled. You could also plug it into a system win only a Linux live dvd, no storage, no speakers.

Safer from malware, but not safe from usb “pranks.” I doubt anyone is leaving a port killer out, but getting your port gunked up, or partly disassembled via locks is a thing.

Disposability is worth considering as well

No speakers? How will you and your archeologist friends hear the porn?

Return the speakers once you determine safety.
