That often happens. But it can also excite a Pin One in whatever it is 
connected to on either end.

If you have more money than you need, perhaps. But all it takes is to 
wind multiple turns of the "USB antenna" through a #31 ferrite clamp-on. 
They cost a few bucks if you buy from industrial vendors like Arrow and 
hit their minimum order of $50 for anything in stock. Fill up that 
quantity with more ferrite cores -- most of us need them to kill noise 
from the dozens of sources in our own homes!
