For the truly paranoid you are supposed to use TrueCrypt, or something like it, and double-encrypt your hard drive. An outside layer that is the one you reveal at gunpoint, - has a working OS and some legitimate looking files, and the inside-super-secret layer that nobody knows about except you.<br>
<br>
Too bad this is only supported (by TrueCrypt) under Windows and not Linux or MacOS. What software alternatives are available for those platforms?<br>
