The question I've seen asked about this is then -- how do you get them to
stop beating you? If they know you might have some number of duress keys,
one of which might undetectably hide the data, what stops them from
beating you until
1) you give them a key that shows them what they want to see
2) you die
Maybe this isn't that different from the ordinary unencrypted case, where
if they don't find it on your HD they can accuse you of burying disks in
the backyard or something. Or is the goal protecting the data and not
protecting your life?
