It is a tough one. I kind of agree that the state has to prove you guilty and shouldn't have to get you to aid their case by unlocking the evidence. But whatever i (or we) believe clearly both the UK and US government and court system see differently.

I guess the only thing that may help in this scenario is if you used something like Truecrypt that has a clever system that should you type in a password under duress then it opens a different encrypted section with a different set of files. So you have two encrypted sections, the real one with one password and a second one with pretend files and a different password. If you are forced to type in a password, type in your duress password and then you have decrypted the volume as requested. I believe that it is also impossible to tell that there is another hidden partition.

But to be honest i ain't got nothing to hide!
