It doesn't matter ask if there is no persistent partition.
fdisk -l /dev/sdb (or gdisk, don't remember) will show the existing
partitions.
To achieve this kind of plausible deniability Tails will have to
create a valid LUKS persistent volume in every usb stick independently
if it's used or not.
Maybe Tails should fill the usb stick free space with an unformatted
partition. This way a user will be able to create a plain CryptSetup
(ou TrueCrypt) encrypted partition with some plausible deniability.
