Which is why smart people use something that give plausible deniability.

truecrypt allows you to create a double encrypted volume. 2 passphrases. 1 - lets your torturers into a set of incriminating looking but innocent files, the other lets you into the real files. there is NO WAY to detect or extract the real files from the planted files.

look innocent to the coppers while you continue to hide the goodies.

looks even better if you have other things that use the same planted password and are your tax info ,etc...
