FYI, the state of California has been known to escheat the contents of safe deposit boxes under certain circumstances. It has been known to happen by mistake or in cases where it obviously shouldn't have. If the box is escheated, the papers would be immediately shredded, and the USB keys auctioned off. You'd end up with a few cents from the state (for the USB keys, pennies to the dollar) and absolutely no recourse.
I would highly recommend getting a 2nd safe deposit box with a different bank and store the exact same contents in both (or better, get 3+ total and use m-of-n encryption... but in reality the effort involved would not be practical unless you rarely dip into offline funds).
PS: you're saying I only need to search banks in the bay area for one with that color scheme, floor tile, and banker, then drill/blast the box shown and make off with 90% of Coinbase's deposits in untraceable cash? Free tip #2: change boxes, soon.
[EDIT: that said, I appreciate spreading the word about offline storage. It would have been better to do a blog post (maybe a follow-up?) on how others can do the same thing with Armory running on a live-cd.]

You'll also need to AES-256 decrypt the contents of the box.
Which can, depending on how the AES key has been generated, take basically forever or, say, ten minutes. (Using SHA-1(password) as your AES key is not a great idea.)
