Abstract:
1. A single-use Universal Serial Bus port protector, comprising: a) a top piece, comprising: b) a tongued planar surface, having a top and a bottom, having a tongued portion and an untongued portion, where the tongued portion extends from the top of the tongued planar surface and has the same width as the mortise in the rectangular planar surface, where the un-tongued portion has a user-definably greater width and height than the tongued portion, having at least one rail on the top of the tongued planar surface that is engagable by the at least one lever of the top piece and that traverses the tongued portion of the tongued planar surface and encroaches a user-definable distance onto the untongued portion of the tongued planar surface, having two projections extending from the bottom of the untongued portion of the tongued planar surface, where the two projections are proximal to the tongued portion of the tongued planar surface, where the top piece and the tongued planar surface are slideably insertable into but not extractable from a Universal Serial Bus port without breaking the at least one lever of the top piece to ensure that no electrical connection is made to the Universal Serial Bus port when the top piece and the tongued planar surface are so inserted.
