Having just returned from overseas, my strategy was:

 * Spare computer (light weight, long battery),
 * clean OS install
 * All important files on a thumb drive
 * All private files on a hidden, encrypted partition on the thumb drive.

Ubuntu, presumably other Linuxes, detects the encrypted partition on my
thumbdrive and asks me to mount it. It's really not much of an
inconvenience.
