> if you're working on sensitive stuff and you want to pretend you're writing some innocent poetry

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.
