I have always been curious.. is there a better way of accomplishing this?
Use full-disk encryption (presumably this is table stakes for anyone with this level of paranoia) using two factors - your passphrase decrypts a keyfile, then the keyfile is used to decrypt the partition. If you destroy the keyfile, then even knowledge of the passphrase won't allow you to decrypt the data. This can be used to defeat a rubber-hose attack [0]. Standard security vs. convenience trade-off applies, of cou…

On modern operating systems you can generally mount and unmount virtual encrypted volumes that are open (ideally) only when you're actually using them to do work with their contents. There used to be a great macOS tool, called Knox, that did this graphically.
