...Even though they use USB keys, they are orders of magnitude better than regular encrypted wallets....
I'm always happy to answer more questions about Armory Smiley

Passing an unwanted guest to the offline wallet and back again over the USB key, seems like the one main vulnerability of Armory.  I was thinking of re-partitioning an old USB flash drive to be just large enough to store most transactions one might make to/from the offline wallet. 

I was wondering if that sounds like a very good idea and, if it does, if the developer had any idea about how much space might be a good compromise between usability (key not usable if too small) and enhanced security (space for unwanted guests if key partition too large).  As the wallet is offline, I don't anticipate ever sending to multiple addresses, or having especially long blockchain entries.  I have imported private keys for this just in case anything were to go wrong with the armory wallet or if support on Armory were to end abruptly.
