This has happened, it was just that no technical gizmo would have saved the guy. I cannot imagine how. In case of a corrupt government, if they wanted to lock you up, they wouldn't strictly need any evidence at all. Having a gizmo that can potentially destroy evidence is a bonus. Otherwise, they will throw you behind the bars for 18 years for jaywalking. If you had a controversial businessman and his thugs after you, destroying the evidence only means they wouldn't have to destroy it themselves after having killed you. In any case, if you're working on sensitive stuff and you want to pretend you're writing some innocent poetry, I don't think any kind of jamesbondian device would help you look inconspicuous. |

For plausible deniability, you need a second account on the machine that has all your poetry in. Then, when the thugs (or border guards) tell you to log into your laptop, you use the other username and password and say "Feel free to read all this poetry. I'm particularly proud of the one called 'My government isn't corrupt at all'."
Also, in this scenario, you should probably store your raw information (with the names of innocents redacted) in a public cloud somewhere outside your jurisdiction, encrypted, and have a time-based dead man's switch (hosted somewhere else) which sends an email to your colleagues containing the URL and decryption key.
