Why would you want an encrypted USB?
- Protect your files if your USB from thefts and snoopers
- Backup important data offline in case your online accounts get hacked / devices seized (such as due to activism)
- Secure journalism, research, organizing, or whistleblower documents
- Carry and hide sensitive information more discreetly than carrying an entire laptop
