[QUOTE="McYukon, post: 1126140, member: 101117"] What you are trying to do is impossible with a USB drive or any HD, the second a different person takes that drive and puts it into his USB slot he is granted Read and Write perms. The same can be applied to the computers HD, as long as the HD is in the computer and you have booted from the HD you can't look into other users home folder. But take that same HD and start the computer in Target mode or rip the HD out and stick it into a external HD reader and you can look into every place on that HD no matter what the permissions. What you can do is make a encrypted disk image. Although this doesn't hinder anyone from deleting the Disk Image, just reading the Disk Images contents.
