Not every entity that would like to access your disk, will be willing to leave the realm of applied human rights.

Basically no level of encryption will help you against a determined (and law ignoring, if they even have one against it) agent of a nation states intelligence service.

But it will most likely work against your bread and butter LEA employee or your local variety of the IRS/SEC.

Thanks for proving me wrong! Even if it’s only for a fraction of the people, you’re still right for most people, a large fraction. As long as you’re not targeted by entities above or considering themselves above, the law, the Veracrypt approach will suffice. Good point.
