Well, if you are going to recover files from that USB drive, ideally the retention period should have been much longer than 2 weeks. Else, you could have chosen to manually "Retain" the backup sets.
And when you plug in the storage (USB drive in this case) to the BE media server and run an inventory/catalog, BE recognizes it as its storage and runs the DLM process to groom the backup sets as they were expired.
Additionally, to prevent these backup sets from expiring in the future when the USB drive is reattached, do ensure "Limit Backup Exec to read-only operations" option is enabled for the storage properties.
