Probably already to late, but since it might be relevant for next years
Wikimania as well: One way to protect data is to create a hidden
truecrypt volume. That means that inside of an encrypted partition –
which contains some harmless stuff one would want to hide (softporn or
whatever seems plausible) – there is another encrypted partition with
the real data.

When an airport security officer demands you decrypt your encrypted
partition, you just use the password of the harmless partition and thus
protect your real data.

However, it's even safer not to bring any laptop/data with you ;-)
