Is anyone concerned about travelling with an encrypted OS - but not a shadow one - and upon decryption, being accused of only decrypting a shadow OS? How would you prove that you're not hiding something?
It is impossible to prove either way.
Which might prove to be a concern when Evil Men With Sticks are standing over you, trying to make sure you're not a spy.

Sounds like traveling with a wiped drive is the safest alternative.
