[Ti] Password protect USB flashdrive?

[John Griffin]

I bought a Cruzer USB flash drive and spent an entire afternoon trying to
figure a way to password protect it. I certainly could not find a solution.
I seem to remember a way to lock folders with a password in OS 9, but there
doesn¹t seem to be a way in OS X.

Does anyone know if Tiger will have the ability to lock and password protect
folders and volumes?
