This happened within the last year, at either a USA or European airport.
I'm

You were stopped at the gate and asked to turn on your laptop? Sorry, but I
don't believe it was in the US -- random gate checks are all but eliminated
here.

And I certainly don't believe anyone stuck a USB drive into your computer.
That was never done in the US.
