Well, I'm not sure if one wants to just call security approaches "tricks". A "trick" approach is often one that can be undone if your adversary knows about it (keeping your files hidden somewhere in your luggage would be a "trick"). A cohesive approach should be unbreachable if minimal conditions are met. If you can assure a "trustworthy" base computing environment (one that isn't keylogged etc), then having your valuable files encrypted in a remote location should work (which is the idea of tailsOS boot + a remote drive). How determined the adversary would determine how hard they might fight again you getting such a trustworthy environment. Just sayin'
