A very interesting solution!

If you can do without Windows, I would say formatting a USB with a first partition as an 8 gig DOS partition and a 2nd partition as Linux LUKS may work just a good.

But a few people may know about Linux. So if on OpenBSD, you can create a second OpenBSD encrypted partition. I think that will probably look like garbage to 99.999% of the people you may be hiding from.

Be aware, if dealing with a sophisticated Gov agency, all bets are off.

Hmm, a partition of any sort has mapped the territory.

But this partition would be visible.

The OP had a version that is invisible.

rue, but I think if crossing a border, this would be enough to get by. I doubt the border guards would know what fdisk is showing and you can say "that was there when I bought it".

But the big question would the guards even know about fdisk type utilities ?
