Almost everyone has a thumb drive. Most people carry some pretty personal information around on those little devices as well. So when you lose your thumb drive, sometimes you can be pretty S.O.L.. Even if you don’t lose it and you simply leave it around, your information can be easily compromised.

Luckily, we’ve got a little something called IronKey.

This 4 GB thumb drive was developed specifically for the US Military, and includes a hardware encryption chip that actually scrambles all the data on the thumb drive if you don’t enter the proper password when you plug it in. Normally, the concern of your password being hacked would arise, but after 10 incorrect password attempts the chip completely self destructs. Any attempts to open the device will also be met with disaster as the device is filled with epoxy to damage the opened thumb drive.

That’s what I call security!
