First, "school officials say "a few pornographic pictures" that were on a personal flash drive of a Central Blood Bank representative were shown on the screen." A few? Why wasn't the display turned off immediately when the first one was revealed? If it was part of a "presentation", the presenter should be fully in-charge and able to kill the thing immediately. Maybe he left the room to have sex with one of the teachers...
Second, if it was an actual presentation, one would think that it had been prepared in a program similar to Power Point, or, at minimum, simple slideshow software. In either case, pornographic pictures don't just 'pop-up', they have to be selected at some point, either individually or by picking a folder to include in the show.
What kind of idiot prepares a presentation without viewing it to make sure it's done right?
Another feature in some file browsers is an "auto-play" feature for externally mounted storage media like DVD's and USB drives.
Either of the above scenarios could have displayed the inappropriate content.
A little forethought on the blood bank employees part could have kept this from happening. I imagine this kind of snafu is something that will reflect negatively on their resume.
Pretty much my thoughts. This was no accident. Images just don’t shown up in a presentation. They are put there by someone.
BTW - Isn’t porn at work a fire-able offense these days?
