You can also run Fedora from a USB with persistence, but you will not

you would/should only run it on machines that have *exteremely* similar
hardware. That is the advantage of Live media -- universality.
There is a way to do that. livecd-iso-to-disk will allow you to encrypt
/home, which might be good enough. If you are careful to only use
the overlay for updates (and not sensitive configuration) and don't use
swap, then that should protect you from people extracting information
from your live usb. (It won't protect you from someone getting physical
access, making changes and then getting you to use it.)
