I understand- the software behind hidden volumes is relatively new. I think this is an area the open source/security community should really put some effort behind. It is recommended that you use the regular non-hidden volume OS for trivial tasks frequently to make it a normal OS. If you do this, you are giving them your password. You just use a differnet password and a hidden volume for all of your private stuff. Leaving it behind works as well, if that is acceptable to you! And is probably the most secure thing. :)
