Due to fundamental insecurity of usb, should we synonymize it with usb-drive and make the tag wiki the same for both?
No, usb is not the same thing as usb-drive.
Most questions about USB something are about removable drives in general, and the fact that they happen to be connected over USB is just a matter of today's dominant technology. Maybe we should synonymize usb-drive to removable-drive.
We have a few questions about USB itself or about removable devices in general. I just went and retagged a few usb questions that were really about USB drives. That still leaves some questions about USB itself, justifying a separate tag.

I agree USB is a standard. Where-as a USB-drive is a storage device that uses USB to transfer data. – Brian Duke Nov 28 '14 at 20:04
