I might argue there is plenty of reason to not let them plug anything into
any port in the first place.
Where do you work that the execs and other departments are combing your
closets looking for spare ports?
Trust me it's not that hard to shut that port or better yet shut all unused
ports as a matter of policy in the first place.
It comes down to corporate culture.
If you are in a mom and pop type of operation... the owners/managers/users
may use and abuse your core.
If you work for a respectable sized shop with enlightened leadership, most
of your users may never know that you even have a 6500 in the core in the
first place.
Your mileage will vary.
