A secure flash drive

Flash drives are great and recently the prices a fallen considerably, which means that more people are using them. Now this can be a problem, with so many people using flash drives to store different types of data, the problem of security arises.

If the flash drive is lost then whatever is stored on it, can be accessed. But not if the flash drive is an Iron Key, the user needs a password to access the data, so ten failed passwords means that the data is destroyed and the flash drive then kills itself. There is no possible way of retrieving the data or restarting the flash drive. How’s that for security?
