If its an ISO image on the usb, that should be listed already so i'm guessing we mean usb stick with MBR (UEFI is compatible) boot records here?

On second thought:

1. Is it a common scenario at all to plug in bootable USB (other than ISO images that we already cover).
2. Do we have a good way to differentiate between USB flash disks and external USB drives? I think we'd only want to cover the former with this.

Don't feel this will be fixed without satisfactory answers to those questions.
