Comment on Storing encryption keys for backup drives

I’ve started putting the header and key on my boot partition on a USB key. Without the usb, the hard drives appear to be filled only with random data (plausible deniability). After booting, the USB can be removed to prepare for a panic shutdown.

I did not know this. That would seem, abiding by your system, to be more secure. I will have to investigate.
Thanks for sharing.
