I use TrueCrypt.  It can encrypt an entire device, or it can be used to 
create a file that acts as a virtual drive (shows up as a separate drive 
letter).

I recommend against using encryption solutions built into or bundled 
with USB thumb drives.  Many of them have been shown to be trivial to 
defeat.
