Wanting to learn has nothing to do with privacy. You were questioned as to why, because simply put, there's no reason to mess with these settings. Spend your efforts and time learning something useful. No data is stored that would put your privacy in jeopardy.
As for the legal battles over the history...I don't fully believe that. Any company that deals with such sensitive data wouldn't permit employees to use personal USB drives...or any flash drives for that matter. If there's no electronic block, you would have signed an agreement not to use one. Producing the drive is pointless as well, because any data that could have been moved to it could have been securely erased anyway....proving nothing in the end.
