OK, thought so, ;-)

OK, not on windows,
but maybe for my limited threat model I might be able to:

My threat model doesn't include any 3 letter agencies, organized 
crime outfits, or malicious hackers out to get me, 
any of whom are capable of putting a hardware keylogger on a 
friend's laptop.

Think of it as an 'envelope' threat model. 
I need an envelope, not a post-card, 
but don't need a trusted messenger to deliver my envelope by hand.

So, if , for example, in a case where I don't have my laptop with 
me,
(but I do have a usb with gpg and keyrings, and a miniDVD with 
ubuntu),

then, assuming there is no keylogger on the borrowed laptop, what 
is the problem with booting from the ubuntu miniDVD, and running 
gnupg from ubuntu while accessing the keys from the usb, and 
writing to the usb?
