Actually, TrueCrypt is the easist way to go. You can set it up, like me, so that it automatically prompts you to enter your password and mount the encrypted drive, as soon as you plug in the USB flash drive. You don't need the TrueCrypt software installed on the target computer. I use my USB flash drive to store a text file with all username/passwords for different online things (banking,shopping,etc). The flash drive itself is encrypted with TrueCrypt. And yes, the http://nyctechtips.com/2008/04/27/encrypt-your-flash-drive-using-truecrypt/ provides a good tutorial.
