I worked for a company whose executives had reason to travel to China. It was believed that the authorities there would seize laptops and force people to input or tell them the passwords. Our techy department set up the laptops in such a way that one password worked as normal, whilst another opened the laptop up, but also deleted a 'sensitive documents' folder. It worked in testing - I don't believe it was ever actually used in reality though.
