Does FreeBSD still have the kernel panic when mounted USB storage devices
are detached without unmounting problem?  If so, you could just mount a

your computer would be safe from snooping, because it would kernel panic
every time you walk away!

Quoth Larry Wall: "You can never entirely stop being what you once were.
That's why it's important to be the right person today, and not put it
off till tomorrow."
