I'm guessing you can always wash USB sticks down if they have a little dead pigeon, or pigeon exhaust products on them. The BoingBoing article summed it up nicely by calculating the number of 64Gb SD RAM sticks a pigeon can carry. http://www.boingboing.net/2009/09/10/pigeons-are-faster-t.html I make that ~1.6Gbps which you won't get over ADSL, but can be done over fibre fairly easily these days.
