This seems like a good plan to me, but can any crypto pros poke holes in it?

Sure. I'll get back to you in a few trillion years.

Psh, everyone knows that it only takes the span of a commercial break to crack military-grade double-layered crypto if you use a logic bomb.

When you're up against the US government with all of their cracking hardware, your passphrase won't be simple.

Unless the insurance files are bluffs, you may as well give the US government the keys yourself so that they know you are not bluffing.

The threat that makes the insurance files work is that the public/press and/or foreign governments may get the keys.
