If I were to "accidentally" drop a USB stick that looked like a USB Flash drive, labelled "Google plans - please return to MTV campus if found" somewhere near a TechCrunch writer, the chances are extremely high that said writer would plug it into a machine to see what was on it. Similarly, you could probably get a political journalist with a stick labelled "Trump master plans - destroy if found". It'd be chancy (what happens if the wrong person picks up the stick?), but you can drop and forget, thus being safely out of the way when the laptop goes "bang!".
