Well, there's that, and the fact that no file can be positively identified to be a Truecrypt volume. Until you you give a password it just appears to be random data. High entropy random data, but the guy at the border is looking for a 5 minutes spree tops - I seriously doubt he knows what entropy is let alone enough to check for it.
If you're that worried create a volume with nearly same size as your system RAM, keep it in a directory with some source code (even write a stupid program that will crash if you want) and just name it "core" or "core.dumped". If asked about it tell them when you were testing your program (that does whatever you want to maekup) it crashed and dumped memory to file. It's probably just corrupted nonsense . ..
That would be seriously funny unless you're like me and can't keep a straight face! Then the guy at the border would offer to delete the file for me, and I'd probably turn a dozen shades of white!:)
I can understand clients returning the netbooks because Linux looks different from WinXP, and they don't want to take the time to learn it...
But try sticking Vista on those netbooks and see if the results are any different. I would venture to say that clients will return the netbooks because Vista looks and behaves different from WinXP, and they don't want to take the time to learn it...
Just a thought!:D

Simple. The earth is only 6,000 years old.
