  They can snatch a few people, but what if everyone starts doing that?

  Well designed steganography would notnbe easy to detect if the authorities don’t know what they are looking for. Do they just beat random people to find out if they are sending hidden messages?

  Okay you caught the person, so what?

  With OTP, it could either be

  KILL THE EMPEROR

  or it could be

  Bring the Condom (something that’s embarassing and plausible to want to hide, but not overthrowing the government)

  or it could be any 15 character value, just think of any plausible thing you could possibly hide, to downplay what the real message is.

    The real lifesaver would be deniable encryption. The kind where the encrypted content is indistinguishable from free space, and you have multiple passwords that decrypt different parts of the filesystem. That way you can be interrogated and/or beaten, “give up” and unlock your computer (using the decoy password), and still hide any incriminating evidence since those files remain hidden with no way for them to even detect that they exist.
