This brings up an idea for TrueCrypt.
Why not have two passwords: "foo" and "bar".
If I type in "foo", I get my stuff. If I type in "bar", it may selfdestruct the data, but at least it will show a different content.
So I create a 100GB container, and reserve 10GB as dummy content, maybe 1 mio. copies of the constitution, which will show up with "bar" as password. So I have a password for the police, and everybody is happy.
