Nah , just backup and then wipe all your devices and then restore them after customs. (Kevin mitnick does this).

  Or, perhaps he says that but has two passwords, one that decrypts and runs an OS and one that presents as if no OS is installed?

    They can seize your stuff so your workaround won’t work when they pass it to their tech team for forensics. Also, if they find something now they have you lying to customs.

      It seems (ha!) possible to design the logic for such a system with deniability, like the system has to use the second/third/fourth password to attempt decryption before you know if the padding is encrypted or random noise [if the specific encryption has a signature then each install could encrypt the empty space with a few keys taken from urandom]. First password accesses clean files, second one accesses dummy [legal!] fetish porn collection ... do border guards hold you to get a third password? An analogue analogue might be: I have a book full of "random alphanum text", I have two (or more) one-time pads for decryption of portions of the book, I also know the page/line the actual cyphertext starts at. The rest of the text in the book is random quotations encrypted using a selection of further random one-time pads. Can forensics find that there is a "hidden" n+1 plaintext when I give them the n pads and starting points? Seems impossible??

        You still are now attempting to deceive a government official. Also, you are assuming that the technician assigned to you wouldn't be able to figure this out. Also, sweating you out in holding is probably more effective than you realize.
