I'd say just don't run a graphical environment or, if you do, lock it. With a normal password, good luck to the USB thumb drive that pretends to be a keyboard.
As for booting, well, don't have it in there at boot time.
As for malware in the files itself -- I don't think that's the point of this project. It says "if you don't trust the transport medium (i.e. USB)", it's not about the contents.
