Bug Description
Binary package hint: usb-creator
If I am running usb-creator FROM a live usb system, then the device I am running from should NOT be selectable as a target device since this will lead to a crash.
liveusb already takes care of that:

This is already the case by the nature of how usb-creator is designed. To put it another way, because usb-creator searches for devices with the storage.removable property set to true, it will never use the device the live system is running off of.
I've confirmed this in my own tests, but if the disk the live filesystem is running from is present in your tests, please reopen this bug report and print the result of the following command (where volume_ uuid_D501_ 33B3 is the device in question):
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest= org.freedesktop .Hal --type=method_call /org/freedeskto p/Hal/devices/ volume_ uuid_D501_ 33B3 org.freedesktop .Hal.Device. GetAllPropertie s
