Install livecd-tools. You can then use /usr/bin/livecd-iso-to-disk to convert live iso images to work with usb devices. You can also have an encrypted home directory and some space for doing updates to the OS if you want.

Even easier would be to use (as root):
dd if=/path/to/livecd.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=2k
(Substitute the appropriate path to the ISO and the correct device for your *unmounted* USB stick). Note that this is a destructive process and will completely rewrite your USB stick.

Have you actually done this successfully? I thought the boot loader location was different on a CD and a hard drive. Or will your BIOS let you define a USB stick as a USB CD-ROM drive?

unetbootin is a good option for me
