This biggest threat these things pose I think, it not people maliciously plugging them in themselves, but the fact that due to their size they could easily be placed inside the housing of many models of USB flash drive. It would take minimal work in many circumstances then, to swap someones genuine USB flash drive for a disguised USBkill device.
