The Thumbdrive included biometric protection of the drive.

The crossplatform protection need is quite a problem I think.
As others have said, there are ways to encrypt the data but not 
protect the drive.

Even USING the flash-drive crossplatform is not trivial.

I have to have my LG256 flash drive formatted in FAT32, to be able to 
use it on a PC or on my Mac.  But this file format causes some 
problems with copying and saving some files.  For me it is quite 
inconvenient.  At least half the time, I have problems copying some 
of the files and that affects the whole copying process on my Mac. 
The copying in OS X is not too smart, I find.  Like, it could copy 
everything except the problem files, but it does not have that 
algorithm.
