>3) Your machine essentially now contains random data (even to you), perhaps except the partition table and/or boot parition(s). Tell the authorities that you "fill your hardisk up with random data before traveling in case of theft."

Yeah perhaps this is not the best hypothetical response...

I still believe there is a way to adjust such an encryption scheme to meet the ideal criteria:

1. you're not lying 2. you can't provide access 3. you're not drawing extra attention to yourself

If this is what happens, then this is not a free country. There is a border where you must stop in harassing your own citizens under the pretext of security.

Few countries (if any) are really free.
