Instead of "breaking the USB stack", why don't you just force your authorization into the peripheral, and have it refuse to work/transmit until your magic authorizer has talked to it. That way you don't need to contaminate the rest of the system with what I assume is your attempt to placate the FCC. I'm sympathetic to your problem, but the solution seems a bit overbearing. Last time I checked, this wasn't Windows Vista.
