Running OpenVPN on an unknown/public machine?

I guess this is a question about how everyone manages/transports their keys for use on an unknown computer.

Would it be ok to generate a set of keys and store them on an encrypted thumb drive, with the OpenVPN client .exe and a config file to be carried around in the event you are say, in a starbucks, or at a friends house and want to quickly setup a VPN on that machine?

Thoughts, ideas?

Thanks

You can never fully trust any computer you don't own/control, period.
