Hi! For those interested in encrypting root / entire harddisk: Sandisk TransFlash Cards (thumbnailsize) in combination with a generic USB SD-cardreader are bootable. The cardreader I used for testing looks like an USB memory-stick and has only one slot for SD cards. So the 32MB TransFlash needs its SD adapter card. As a whole, this combo boots like from USB memory stick. You just have to keep the tiny Transflash card in your pocket to keep thieves off your data. Moreover, data on Transflash cards can safely be erased with a lighter. Quick & entirely.
