They've been doing it with hardened criminals for decades,
so your average random geek is no problem.
Evidently in the case of

were totally unable to get information out of John Doe
For the entire case turned on the fact that John Doe never
admitted the existence of the hidden drive, and forensics were
entirely unable to prove the existence of the hidden drive.
Customs may have the authority to search through your stuff,
but if they cannot find what they are looking for, they have
no authority to make you tell them that it exists and where
it is.
But if you *do* tell them that it exists, then they can make
you tell them where it is.
Imagine biting your nails for the entire statute of limitation period.
You are one coding/implementation/vuln/exploit away from being brought
right back in again.
Of course they will keep the raw data, and won't uppity district
attorneys periodically check bugtraq for truecrypt related items ?
