No, the one you linked to is just charge-only.

I wish to build - or I wish someone would build - a USB condom that passes through USB stick drives, by reading files on one side, and emulating a filesystem on the other.

It's not because I want to be 100% there is no backdoor. Rather I want a minimum of safety when I have to access a USB stick given to me by a stranger.

(Speaking of building your own, simple power-only USB condoms - like you linked to - are actually pretty easy to make. They have been used to teach (SMD) soldering at CCC events, hackerspaces and the like.)
