If you are the latter and need a flash drive with some type of protection or encryption protection than Kingston got you covered with the DataTraveler Locker+ G2 line of drives. The DataTraveler offers hardware encryption and password protection to get your data under a good solid lock and key.

Recently, I had a discussion with one of my friends regarding the ownership of police electronic countermeasures in my vehicle. I have written an article on such a topic a few years go, which can be found here .

If you were in the market for a secure USB drive and you didn't work for a three-letter agency, then Kingston's DataTraveler Locker+ has been a great choice. It's affordable, easy to use, and reasonably secure, even if it doesn't have the most hardcore of credentials, like FIPS Level 2...
