    What we really need is encryption with a duress password that just shows some harmless files. Maybe have it overwrite the sensitive data if they want to verify size of the drive. Does something like that already exist? I know standard duress password does, but that could go down as destruction of evidence.

      TrueCrypt had/has that feature for full-drive encryption. But I don’t think anyone serious uses them anymore due to the current code maintainers having some questionable allegiances.

      You can embed encrypted data inside media files like video, image and audio files. Thats your best bet i think. You cant really hide an entire filesystem afaik unless you build a custom storage device with a controller that only physically connects certain sections under specific conditions.
