the capability to create a hidden encrypted volume within another encrypted volume, thereby allowing you to grant access to unimportant/dummy data when a password is asked for without the attacker knowing additional information even exists.
Here is a story from a guy who had a similar solution in mind. Apparently the airport people get suspicious if the laptop runs something that they are not used to, like anything non-Windows.
On the other hand, he suggests that they are easily satisfied if you setup your laptop so it boots Windows by default and shows some normal-looking desktop; and that they are stupid enough not to suspect that there might be other operating systems installed if they don't show up in the boot menu.
Maybe it would suffice to setup your boot loader so that it boots Windows unless you press Shift or something like that.
If you've got only a few machines, it's easy for you to say that upgrading is not a big deal.
However, if you have to administer a hundred machines in a company or university, it's not that easy. There's always something that goes wrong or requires extra configuration, and you have to test the new release with all sorts of hardware before you can consider pushing it to the users' desktops.
