Evil Maid goes after TrueCrypt

I can cut this "insertion" time in half. :) Miniature camera pasted somewhere discrete on the ceiling.

That even bypasses physical (lockbox) security.

(I liked the article but I think she waffled on a bit long about physical security, which TC developers made a good point about, and TPM)

The problem with this is you're assuming the target will actually access his encrypted data while in the hotel room.

If you really want to cut it in half, just kidnap him and hit him with this $5 wrench until he tells us the password. We're breaking laws, but hey, whose counting?

This lets the target (and his collaborators) know he is compromised, and may make any information gained worthless.

your right; though your solution is even more shaky ;) I find screwdrivers 100% more effective.
