Claim some level of security, and you've instantly become a target. Either given enough people poking at it intelligently, or a enough computers brute forcing it nearly anything can be cracked. Of course, when people do the cracking it often ends up showing some design flaws in the product.

That's technically true, but the time frame it takes to find an algorithmic weakness or complete a brute-force is the important factor here. It comes down to a question of how long your data needs to remain confidential. As is usually the case, no cryptographic primitives were subverted to 'break' the USB stick. A somewhat silly implementation flaw is to blame.
