[j-nsp] ability to turn USB port on/off for MX routing engine?

[Morgan McLean]

I can see turning off USB from a security stand point, like disabling
console too....but then again in the event of needing to restore the device
that could be a big problem.

AND, if they have physical access, the war is already lost.

...Also, I don't think you should really be powering devices with your
routers? Just an opinion. Not exactly what its designed for.
