For my two-cents, many organizations forbid using USB memory sticks for security reasons.
Makes one wonder what exactly is the evil thing one can do with a USB flash disk that can't be done with a (self-burned) DVD... (Except infecting a machine without DVD drive, of course.) But yes, I understand that making sense is not a requirement for rules of this type.
I don't think it's a measure to protect the system from the evilness of the users, but from their ignorance. DVDs are (almost) read only, so they don't get infected as easily as flash disks. Most Windows users have evil autorun.inf files in their flash disks and they don't even know.
