worried about security

i like the way eboostr works, I am using beta 3, 128 system memory and 1024 mb on my secondary harddisk
I looked at the eboostr.dat file @ 64 mb and the contents of the file is scarry, If im going to be using this app with a usb flash drive, what would a snooper gain from reading the contents of the usb thumb drive used by eboostr ?
If on the fly encryption is used for the eboostr.dat file i would feel much much safer using this program with a REMOVABLE usb thumb drive.
I hope this is looked at cause idenity theft is on the rise, I love eboostr but dislike the idea that my computer usage is kept on a usb thumb drive, just something to keep in mind.

We have decided to not use any encryption or compression for the cache files in order to get the maximum speed available.
If you are worrying about security you can use any low-level encryption software (something like TrueCrypt, McAfee SafeBoot or SanDisk Enterprise) for the flash drive.
