Good point, the Trascend flash drive I reviewed in the past had this software built-in. It worked well, but we weren't trying to break it.
Fingerprint and password security both have their flaws. Fingerprints can be reproduced (people have already done this.... google it!). Passwords can be keylogged, observed, or guessed.
If you seriously have data this important then you should consider doubling password protection with a fingerprint scanner and a password. No data is 100% safe....
