Thanks for that Ronni.
Do you know if these are readily available and if they are
horrendously expensive. They look as if they could solve my problem.
At the moment I have considerable data duplicated onto two flash
drives, one is encrypted for when I need to use it with MAC OS and the
other is protected with lockngo for use on Windows machines (yes I
occasionally have to use these!). What I need is something to secure
the drives for both OS and this could fill the bill.

the need to buy another flashdrive.
Creating an Encrypted Disk Image on the FlashDrive as Neil has
suggested is good.
Just make sure to always eject -- since the disk image is encrypted,
if it is damaged, the whole thing goes kaput!
Cheers,

Hi Barry,
One really easy way is just to use an encrypted disc image - all
anyone can
see is the image file - you just double click it to mount and it
asks you
for the password. No password, no mount.
Just use Disk utility to create it.
Cheers

Is anyone aware of software to lock and prevent the contents of a
flash drive being seen? I have used "lockngo" with Windows but it
does not work with MAC OS.
