How can I create an encrypted, bootable thumbdrive containing Linux?

How can I create an encrypted, bootable thumbdrive containing Linux? I want to have a bootable flash drive that's fully encrypted. I have not tested, but seem to like, TrueCrypt, which provides a fully encrypted system and has lots of other features I like (for instance, hidden volumes). Unfortunately, it seems, system encryption is only supported for Windows, although I'm not sure why.

Fedora can do an encrypted install, and if you pass expert to the installer then it will let you install onto removable media. The only caveat is that /boot will need to be unencrypted so that the computer can read it for booting.
