With not only all your documents on it, but all your settings, all the programs you use (presumably to access those documents), all your history, everything. Granted, you normally don't have to log in to a USB drive; but then again, you normally can't pick up someone's entire computer and hide it into your pocket either.

But with things like that, it comes down to common sense: Don't leave anything usable against you (login info, site histories, personal notes, etc.) in something someone can pick up and walk away with.
