If such things matter, you can do this to create a flash drive that
the various snoopy government agencies can't easily read, without
going to the bother of encrypting it, especially as some of them claim
the right to demand encryption keys. It's not your fault that they're
using a dain-bramaged OS that can't read OSS file systems, such as
ext4, is it?
It strikes me that the "snoopy" services will probably have no trouble
reading something as un-bizarre as ext4. I dare say that such things
are child's play to them. It would be a tech that would assess
hardware, not just any member of their staff.
