USBKill (https://github.com/hephaest0s/usbkill https://github.com/hephaest0s/usbkill) lists one approach to solving that problem in its README:
- Set USBKill to watch the status of a particular USB port
- Attach a lanyard to a USB key
- Wear the lanyard on your wrist
- Plug the USB key you're wearing into the port USBKill is watching
Then anytime you step away from the machine, USBKill would notice the removal of the key and shut it down.

- DuskStar 7y agoThat is a rather different USBKill than I expected. https://usbkill.com/ https://usbkill.com/ sells something that you should REALLY never plug in to a computer you want to keep.
