Supposing that the US courts decide that people aren't protected by the 5th ammendment, one solution for protecting your files might be:
Encrypt everything using a one-time pad. When compelled to provide the one-time pad, provide a pad that decrypts the data to something else. Any resulting plaintext can be crafted. Ok, sure, that seems pretty painful (storage/protection of pad, etc). I guess the only other technical solution would be steganography. tim _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
