'USB condom' prevents device hijackings at rogue ports

I just saw this article and just had to post it. At the same time, I'm ROFLMFAO and wishing I had thought of it first. It block the data channels on a USB port, so you can charge a device without worrying about viruses, etc. Man, if I had this idea first, I'd have filed a patent and RAN to get on "Shark Tank"! Oh well, I'll buy a couple when they're available.
