There seems to be some discussion in different FOSS crypto projects
about the value of a hidden secondary volume. I've never used one,
and don't plan to (just try to prove otherwise!). Here's a list of
countries, including Canada, the UK, and Australia, who have given
themselves the right to force you to decrypt TrueCrypt volumes:

At least in the US, the Fifth Amendment still has some life, unlike
the Fourth. I think hidden volumes support the right not to
incriminate yourself.

I have never been served with any warrant such as an NSL, I have no
gag order of any kind, and am not under any sort of compulsion related
to the CipherShed project.
