Loll, you have a lot of faith in the legal system that I do not. Expert witnesses are commonly full of shit.

Even if that is true, I have better things to do with my time and money than pay a expert witness to explain: see, I wasn't breaking the law, I just wanted the cops to think I did. That just seems like a really bad idea.

A LUKS volume with a detached header is indistinguishable from random data.

If there's a difference visible, that's a weakness in the encryption algorithm.
Encrypted data should be statistically indistinct from random noise.
It's an information theory thing. Everything in the ciphertext should be sitting at maximum entropy.
