But it might make attackers' lives harder, which is all security measures can
ultimately do.
One thing that isn't clear to me why was this brought up. I'm sure it's
important (otherwise Bill wouldn't have mentioned it), but I've just missed why
(maybe I missed the preamble from other forums that have discusses this issue
the very same thing, so maybe a quick summary would be helpful?).
Regarding its relevant to our project, does TrueCrypt currently support
multiple hidden volumes? If so, would keeping them in our project be a massive
pain? If TC does not currently support them, I suppose it would be particularly
hard to implement?

It's a matter of degrees, an encrypted volume will protect your naughty
files from mommy dearest, an encrypted drive will protect you from your
garden variety theif or hacker, neither (whether hidden or not) are
going to protect you against the MIB.

At the time of writing, no warrants have been served to me, nor am I
under any legal compulsion concerning the CipherShed project. I do not
know of any searches of seizures of my assets.
