Trezor's "plausible deniability" scheme could very well result in you going=

jail for lying to border security, because it's so easy for them to simply
brute force alternate passwords based on your seeds. With that, they have p=
roof
that you lied to customs, a serious offense.

I would strongly advise you not to use it in that situation.
