Maybe this is a valid case for "security through obscurity". If you don't publicly proclaim you're doing something like this, who knows to look?



Pair that with a slightly stronger form of data hiding by using TrueCrypt's hidden partition feature to encrypt the second OS partition. Just make sure not to ever boot into the honeypot os afterwards, or it could overwrite parts of the hidden partition. You can safely load the honeypot os by typing in the hidden password as well so that true crypt can load the proper partition boundaries.
