   N00b: I don't want to use the public USB port because it might infect my device with malware.
   Hacker: I don't want to use the public USB port because the output of that cheap abused power supply might fry my expensive device.

   If I thought those things would infect my devices with malware I'd get a disgustingly cheap Android device and try to collect samples.

     @pitch LOL, now I'm reminded of the time I got frustrated with a coworker's failure to get a dropper to infect a VM, and decided the solution was disposable hardware.

     I went to Fry's Electronics and asked the sales dude for their cheapest laptop.

     When he found out I wanted to deliberately infect it with malware he looked at me as if I were trying to adopt a puppy to experiment on.

     Sold me the laptop though, and I was able to get the malware to ware its mals.
