Halp Portable encryption software

the key to truecrypt and pleading the fifth is to say you had no knowledge of a truecrypt volume if they find one.

if you say you have encrypted data, they can force the password out of you or send you to prison for interfering with an investigation. so deny the entire thing...

They can't force it out of you. The Constitution says that you can't be a witness against yourself.

thats cool. cant withhold evidence either. the issue is still be battled out in the courts in the US.

in britain, if you withhold the password you're in contempt and get sent to jail.

use truecrypt, and deny any knowledge of a truecrypt volume on any media.

Yes you can withhold evidence, otherwise the 5th amendment is nullified.
 
put the truecrypt volume on there and fill it with nothing but jpegs of crayon drawings of flowers.
TSA tries to prosecute you to get the password. spends alot of time and money getting the encryption removed only to find photos.
you mention that you didn't want people to see your artwork before it was ready.
send story to CNN.

Profit!

And then create a hidden volume with all your real data on it. There is no way to prove the existence of a hidden volume.
