And that can be a problem... inside a volume encrypted with truecrypt,
there may be other hidden volumes... plausible deniability comes from
the fact that, without the right password, no one can prove there is a
hidden volume. The problem is you can't prove there is no hidden volume,
so if the options are "decrypt or die", you are likely to die, even if
you reveal all the info.
