Here's a thought: Truecrypt allows you to use files as keyhashes
instead of an actual password. So what if you, for example, use 10
mp3's as keyhashes and have say, 5 mp3's burned on one disc and 5 on
another? When you want to mount, you just copy the mp3's onto your
harddrive and after you dismount, delete the mp3's.
