It clearly defines how removable devices that "do not match predefined hardware IDs" on the given system, cannot be Installed and function on the "hardware" of which the USB device Is plugged Into. Furthermore, It prevents all Devices AFTER applying the Policy setting (previously Installed USB Devices WILL function as per normal).

Thank you.
I partly agree with you, but I believe it is possible, maybe software does prevent changing anything, but if someone can create an USB (not the current one, I think it's to small), which has enough capacitors you should be able to let it crash. I do not think it can set on fire, only way to do that is overloading your GPU or CPU I think.
I think that when they load up and there are enough capacitors, I think that you should be able to overload the system with a certain voltage which kills the HDD or RAM or something.
A computer doesn't need much to crash. I once was working on a build with a friend of mine, his hands were static loaded with electricity (Don't know if I said that right, but you know what I mean), and the motherboard, RAM, CPU were all crashed, he had to order everything again, just because of some static electricity.
So maybe it is possible.
