Yeah, it's sad that so many people actually use USB ports at airports to charge their devices, without knowing what they are connecting their devices to. I don't expect them to know better, but all their data could be copied, stuff could be modified. Isn't there an adapter which limits the active lines to just what's needed to pass power, no data, or is charging without some data exchange impossible?
