I have a feeling that almost nobody in North Korea would even know what a USB drive was, let alone have a computer to read it with. Sending small amounts of currency/printed text sounds more viable.

PBS released a documentary about NK in January, a portion of which is with this guy. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/secret-state-of-nort...
