An issue I recently encountered: USB created with dd or LiveUSB creator might

I thought the LiveCD had the appropriate UEFI stuff already, I have booted the
CD on UEFI machines, so I didn't have to think about it. So far all the machines
I use have worked with the dd to USB, although that doesn't give you persistent
storage.
Been playing with fc20beta3 Live in just that way.
Don't forget untbootin as well, another tool to build USB.

A persistent overlay is used to do this, but it isn't re-writeable: it
accumulates changes. Once you run out of space to record any more then
things go wrong. (There's an option in the command line tool, but not
LiveUSB, to add a home filesystem which is a normal loopback mount.)
