the hidden volume wont work against pro investigators, if they know that the harddrive is 1TB and theres only 100GB of partition in it then they'd search for the 900GB that remains.

something like:

inspector: yo guys check this out, i found a 1meter cube box labeled "do not touch", ain't it suspicious?
investigator: you're right, but why is the inside only two inches deep? and its freaking heavy too.
*suspicious*

Young people have not figured out that the reason older people seem smart is that the have already tried such things and have learned what not to do. 

They already know - they are just giving you some leeway before they have to take action.

Eh, no. Did you forget? The hidden volume is in the free space of the encrypted volume. If the volume 1TB, and the hidden one is 900GB, it's as if that 900GB was part of the 1TB's free space. There's no way to prove there's a hidden volume just by looking at the encrypted volume's mount size.

vuzedome:
What truecrypt does it put a hidden volume inside a regular volume, so it looks like it's empty but it's not.
And if I recall right they can go one level deeper as well.

kitamesume:
to hell with encryption, i don't need to hide anything anyway ;D
