Well, maybe. Mine has had some revealing directory and/or
file names
on it at times. But definitely no kiddie porn.

I see cell phones as a bit different, though imagine someone
could
have some revealing numbers there, too.
I've known some people who've put the first entry in their
phone as
something like ' phone owner' or ' call if lost' (with
spaces so
it is at at top of list). Could of course follow same
routine with a
flash drive.
