You can also run Fedora from a USB with persistence, but you will not be able to have it encrypted. Live media is adaptive to the hardware environment and installed media is 'set' based upon the hardware present at install time. So, if you installed it with encryption to a USB, then you would/should only run it on machines that have *exteremely* similar hardware. That is the advantage of Live media -- universality.
There is a way to do that. livecd-iso-to-disk will allow you to encrypt /home, which might be good enough. If you are careful to only use the overlay for updates (and not sensitive configuration) and don't use swap, then that should protect you from people extracting information from your live usb. (It won't protect you from someone getting physical access, making changes and then getting you to use it.)
