I like the 'Emergency Mode' switch also found on some military hardware, or radios at least. Runs it flat out at whatever the highest power it can output until something fries.
Just tested it. Created a 200MB normal volume and a 100MB hidden volume inside it.
Mounting just the normal volume showed 199 MB space available. So long as you don't opt to protect the hidden volume on mounting the normal one, you can use all available space. (For non-TC users, protecting the hidden volume decodes the size info from the header so you don't overwrite any encrypted data, but does not actually decrypt the entire hidden volume.)
Meaning, a 600MB.tc would show 600MB as a normal volume, and only the hidden volume size as a hidden volume (I guess don't hide stuff in the normal and give away the hidden key?)
But essentially, you let them decrypt the normal partition, which has say, some financial info, records, etc. Then you pray they don't overwrite your hidden data. But they can't just examine the data and see you've got a hidden volume on there.
Faster clock speeds also mean that signals travel a shorter distance per clock cycle, which if your chip stays the same size starts to become more of an issue when wire delays become the dominant factor over switching delay. 5GHz would give a distance of just over an inch or so for your signal per cycle.
I used to work in a butcher shop, and you'd be suprised how often this sort of thing occurs even there.
Even though we can identify most products on sight alone, some you just can't. Different grades of ground meats were particularly bad for people to swap out and return one, along with people relabeling things before they returned them, claiming they paid the wrong price.
One lady would buy a 1lb package of chicken, eat half of it, let the other half spoil and then return it for a new package, claiming it was spoiled when she bought it. Since there was no way for us to really tell, and it does happen on occasion, we honored it. But when you only have a dozen employees, eventually someone catches on.
Overall, it happened, and I remember once hearing a figure of 3-4% of our pricing was just to cover for 'lost product' (Stolen goods, different from 'expired product'). Not incredibly repeatable as we'd recognize people, but still, we often had a pretty good idea people were trying to pull one on us.
Considering the sheer amount of custom equipment I deal with, I doubt there's much experience that would help aside from general circuit knowledge. This probably doesn't apply to all companies, but here our knowledge is pretty specific to our product. For most of the people I work with, this has been the only company they've ever worked with long term. We're pretty spread out in ages too, from recent college to some guys that've been here for 30-40 years. But mostly yeah, outside experience isn't worth a whole lot.
I'm not aware of any consumer equipment that's going to bring down a plane, or even cause major failures alone.
However, many systems, and especially radios, are pretty susceptible to interference. While a cell phone may not accidentally cause your rudder to jam right, they DO often make noise on audio systems, and that could easily take a recoverable emergency to a deadly crash. What happens when the pilot doesn't hear the tower tell him the gear aren't down? For the 'convenience' of aimless chatter with someone, I'd rather not take that risk. I'd especially prefer other people not apply that risk to me.
Ya know, if a spammer wanted a good way to harvest many email addresses that don't normally appear anywhere...I could actually see the chain mail being a good legal way of getting them. Who starts those damn things anyway?

The blog author attempts to give some credit in the first post (In a vague, not-actually-giving-credit manner), but I'd suggest reading the original.

Unless they see you using both keys, or you've otherwise done something where they know you have a hidden partition...no.
They have a great explanation on their website http://www.truecrypt.org/
