Uh, mount the USB stick somewhere and use something like:
ssh -i /path/to/usb/stick/name-of-your-identity-file user@host
e.g.
mkdir ~/usbstick
mount /dev/sdb1 ~/usbstick
ssh -i ~/usbstick/my_id_rsa_file rick@xxxxxxxxxxxx
If the mountpoint is always the same you can make this easier with a clause in
your .ssh/config file, eg:
Not very likely when I'm around, it seems. {^_-}

Oh yes: if you make a travelling key, it should be different to your home
machine's key. That way it can be revoked (==> remove the public key from the
relevant authorized_keys files).
Gee, thanks for that idea. I didn't know that was possible. I still feel
uncomfortable about sticking a dongle of mine into a foreign machine. I suppose
if I could find a batch of small dongles I could set up "one time dongles" to
cover that. Thanks for the information. I just got up and I have had my daily
required learning experience. I guess I can go back to bed. Seriously, thanks.
