OTOH, a security conscious engineer could exploit this to have the business card call home and automatically block communications from the company so one does not waste time with them ;)

It would be funny to have the business card list known exploits on their system -- whether this would taken lightly by the hiring manager is another question.

Pentest-by-business-card-as-a-service. Awkward acronym, probably not going to be a commercial success.

Not a felony if it transmits over a cell network that the usb interface was activated.

Sorry, but unless you provide other data I still believe this would run afoul of the computer fraud and abuse act (CFAA - 1986).
