Yes. You missed the one about your personal data, such as passwords, emails,
downloads being known to other people, especially if you lose the flash disk
itself. The apps themselves have no worth, of course.

In other words, I can download my personal business email using my own
copy of Firefox, using my own passwords, etc while on another person's
computer. I download to the protected container itself, not to the TEMP
file of the other person's system. To prevent a keylogger from learning
my Truecrypt password, I use keyfiles as well.. no tracks.
