yes mate,most memory sticks come with security software either per-installed or on disk
for example the verbatim range of memory sticks use a utility called "v-safe" which gives you a "privacy zone" on your memory stick,only accesible by a password,the amount of the privacy zone can be changed by the user,i have a similar stick and i use 50% as a privacy zone and the other is used as a normal data storage device
having these private zones means you can save online passwords and this can stop any keyloggers getting your passwords or user names as no keystrokes are ever used,your passwords can be copied and pasted when needed
there is security software you can download that will work on any memory stick,for example Drive Encryption 4.2 from http://www.download.com/Drive-Encryption/3000-2092_4-10696922.html?tag=lst-0-3,this is easy to use and can help you encrypt the disk drives which are using FAT or NTFS File System so faster that few seconds is enough for encrypting or decrypting 250GB hard disk. And it creates a Rolling Back File before encrypting or decrypting. It's very useful and lets you recover all data on the disk even if Windows System crashes accidentally due to other software problem when the target disk is encrypted or decrypted.
DriveEncryption supports all kind of fixed drive and removable storage. For example, hard disk, USB hard disk, USB flash memory disk, PCMCIA hard disk, memory stick, CF/MMC/SD/xD memory card, and floppy/ZIP/JAZ disk
i hope this has helped
good luck mate!
