Your thought gave my inner kind and lovable self an idea. Buy those fake USB 
thumb drives with a small transmitter and have all un authorized personnel and 
quest wear a "security" bracelet.
If the transmitter and bracelet get within 3 inches of each other the bracelet 
emits a 4800V discharge, marking the errant  individual for life. And I wonder 
why they keep sending me to charm school.
To all that have sent ideas Thank You
Bob

Robert,

Here is a novel (and hopefully humorous) suggestion.

Contract one of the firms that sells monogrammed thumb drives for
promotional items to sell you a gross of bright orange thumb drives sans
internals (so you don't have all those drive connections) Have them mark
both sides of the cases with "Alarm Tech USB Lock" or something equally
cryptic.  Fill all your unused USB connections with these devices.

Operators may plug something into an unused port, but would probably never
risk unplugging a filled port.
