Some drives come with password software. PGP will do it and a few others.

A very simple solution is to use winzip's built-in encryption. Most windows machines have a copy of winzip on them and if they dont its a free download. In fact you can put the installer on your drive.
Create a folder called stuff, make it encrypted and put all your stuff in there. Joe off the street shouldnt be able to read it. Make sure to use the newest version of winzip with the new (AES) encryption.
When you double click the folder you'll be asked for a password. No fuss, no muss. When done, put the file back in there.
Also you can try downloading software for free from other brand thumb drives. I found one for you. http://www.edgetechcorp.com/support/products/portable-drives/usb-flash-drive/style1-after-12-03.asp

Check the web site of the manufacturer. Most offer a free encryption program designed for their specific drive that will set up a second partition on the drive that is invisible. Anything placed in that drive can not be seen without the password.
