yep, surprised it doesn't exist already - one password to get you in, one password to wipe or hide everything you want and then let the police in to a completely sanitized version of what you want them to see.

TrueCrypt and other tools had this around for ages. Something with nested partitions. One key unlocked the main partition that you are supposed to fill with something credible. And then another key that looks a partition even deeper that should contain your true secrets.
