The recently released TrueCrypt version 6.0 (now 6.0a) has hidden operating system supportl; this means there are 2 OSs installed on the system - one is the "real" OS where your private OS resides, and the other is a fully usable decoy OS. You can thus boot up into the decoy system and allow security personnel access to all your decoy files without compromising your real OS and data.

I use TrueCrypt all the time and highly recommend it - especially for folks who like to keep data on USB sticks or external drives.
They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the internet.
And again, the internet is not something you just dump something on.

It's not a truck.

It's a series of tubes.

this is way cool. I started using Truecrypt a few months back and I can highly recommend it.
