I'd like to see something like this too. Unfortunately, I have absolutely
no idea how to do it.

If I make one big filesystem and then stick the encrypted filesystem
images on the disk as files, it's obvious what they are. I really wish I
could hide this data, but it will look out of place no matter where I hide
it.

Are there any "legitimate" uses for having huge blocks of random data on
your drive? Are there any which the goons will believe?
