I get the impression that the OP's concern wasn't accidental loss, but 
theft or otherwise unauthorized access.  And, there are lots of ways to 
carry a flash drive that make them hard to misplace.

Using a Linux-specific file system won't stop anybody from the 
gubbermint from reading it, but it will deter the casual thief who 
probably doesn't know that the way Windows stores things isn't the only 
way.  For that matter, you can, if you wish, encrypt the drive, to add a 
second layer of security and if you're really cautious, the files 
themselves.  One of the nice things about doing it this way is that you 
can put the drive in your checked luggage and carry the laptop and not 
have to worry about TSA or Customs finding something you'd rather they 
didn't see.
