Whoa.

This thing is pretty solid looking. The Ironkey is a sweet piece of security hardware and software. It encrypts all the data on it, and if someone tries to crack it, POOF! The data is gone on the 10th wrong password.

Even physical cracking won't work - it's filled with epoxy. It also needs the crypto chip to read from the memory chips... oh, and it's shielded, so even a scanning electron microscope won't get into it.

I haven't had a chance to play with one yet, but it's available through ThinkGeek.

The holidays are coming, right?
