I've tried several times to set up a TrueCrypt thumb drive. There's
supposed to be a way to encrypt the entire drive so that when it mounts
it will automatically prompt for a login ID & password.
So far I haven't even been able to create an encrypted volume on the
drive ... well not one that I can then access by putting in the
password.
The volumes are there, but I can't get to whatever is inside them.

Bad assumption. The number of folks who have access to the Post-it
notes you stuck to the bottom of your keyboard at home is very
limited. But a server-farm of hacked PCs running 24x7 can crack easy
passwords in seconds, anywhere on the net.
So now I've changed it to
something that's not easily guessed. I just hope I don't forget it.
If you easily forget passwords -- who doesn't? -- get one of those
apps like 1password that keep them safe for you.
