I would never leave the peripheral plugged in when I wasn't using it, even if no stories like this existed. I don't leave cameras hooked up to the network on inside my house. Which is why when my eyecam would be plugged in, I'd also be off the network.

Call me paranoid if you will, but it doesn't hurt me any to do this and it really isn't a hassle either.

My webcam has a shutter, does Kinect?

I have no idea, I don't have Kinect yet. I have the Move, but it's pretty easy to pop the USB cable out when it isn't in use, so I've never bothered to check for a shutter. But it would be nice to think it had one.
