USB key, yes.

I used
http://www.saout.de/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=EncryptHomeDirUsingLUKS
to work out the steps needed to encrypt the USB key. Mounting it is as
simple as just inserting it and browsing it. It'll be detected as
encrypted.

You'll be asked for passphrase and you can then elect to store that
passphrase "forever". I'd suggest you don't, but that is your call to
make.

HTH,
