Because the permissions set for your home machine will superceede the Everyone permissions and give you "normal" (full and unrestricted) access to your drive. Then for anything else except your home machine/account, the only permission given is read only which is all you need to launch installers and such.

TrueCrypt - Free Open-Source On-The-Fly Disk Encryption Software for Windows Vista/XP, Mac OS X and Linux - Documentation

It may be possible to do something with a truecrypt volume, mounting readonly. This still leaves the possibility of tampering with any space not occupied by the truecrypt volume.

A hardware WP switch is the only way to be sure, and an SD card in a reader is actually not a bad way to get one, and would be of similar size to a pendrive, using a single function SD reader.

Do SD + USB cards heed write protect when connected via USB?

Yep. Pretty much the way I settled on. Only problem is that they are kinda bulky due to the slot needed for the SD card.

This Pen Protector software has me interested, though.
