Of course, you shouldn't be doing this with a foreign machine which you

got to have faith that the machine isn't set up to capture your key
and/or passphrase/password.
However, the USB key at least lets you carry a disposable key that you
can use for remote access from a platform you trust.
Even better, use a LiveUSB to create a working Fedora system on a flash
drive, create a set of ssh keys for it and when you're using a foreign
system, boot from that drive so that you don't have to worry about
having your key end up on somebody else's box. Of course, you have to
make sure that it's OK with the box's owner, but it's probably the
safest way to handle it.
