It's not an exercise in game theory, it's standard police work. If they've watched you downloading child porn for six months, with enough evidence to get a warrant, and all they find is an encrypted partition and no trace of the pr0n anywhere else, then it doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to figure out where it most likely went. (Talking to e-crime investigators is always illuminating. When they say they're "not stupid" they don't mean they have PhDs in game theory, they mean that they're (usually) going to come in with enough evidence and expertise to have a good chance of a successful prosecution. Being able to hide something with FDE is a very, very rare exception, generally one where evidence was very flimsy anyway).
