Re: What's next....
Not exactly true. If you use truecrypt, you can give them a fake key, which won't really decrypt the drive, but will mount the volume. The prosecutor will have no proof you didn't give the real key however.
Encryption is always your best friend. Learn it, Use it, because when the jack booted republican neo-con right wing christian conservatives decide that YOU can't have porn on your computer, it will be your ass you save by having encrypted your data.

You can use all the encryption tools in tho world. It only takes the right professional a few moments (sometimes days) to discover the proper key(s). |

If that's the case, then anyone with some common sense would suspect foul play right away.
What I would like to see are a combination of keys that determine what you can and cannot view. For example, one master key to see everything on the drive, with option of specifying other keys, each one of them with capability of hiding certain types of files/folders. Even with that scenario if you get an examiner who knows how to use his/her brain, they can still catch you. For example, they are looking at a drive that according to manufacturer's specs is 200 GB. The visible data on that drive takes up 100 GB, and the OS reports that you have 50 GB available. What happened to the other 50 GB? Of course, it would take a person who pays attention to details to figure this out, but it's not impossible as you can see.

Good point, but if you use the logic of these Republican neo-con right-wing Christian conservatives that you speak of, the sole fact that you are using encryption automatically makes you a criminal. In their view, honest, law-abiding and God-fearing citizens have nothing to hide and would freely submit to any kind of search without questioning the authorities, even if they've never done anything wrong. According to beliefs of these individuals, if you are hiding something and/or are questioning their policies and/or actions, then you must be up to no good and probably are doing something illegal.

If that's the case, then anyone with some common sense would suspect foul play right away. A single "file" can have two volumes in it, and the second volume is entirely optional and undetectable, since it is attached at the end of the file, and goes backwards. When you create a volume, it fills the volume with random data, which is what the second volume would look like without the decrypt key. |
