I know VeraCrypt/TrueCrypt have implemented the ability of hidden volume for Plausible Deniability. Is it possible to implement another Plausible Deniability feature?
If a Plausible Deniability password is entered, it will wipe the entire file container or volume? It would make those who pressure for the password to think twice, as well as BruteForce. Although they can create backups of the original file containers or volumes, it still introduces uncertainties into the process.
Like the hidden volume feature, the creator will have the option to implement the feature or not.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
This idea has been suggested before and rejected since any adversary would not allow you to access the original volumes and/or use a modified version removing the wipe feature.
However, the panic button feature request has been logged at the link below.
