Supposing that the US courts decide that people aren't protected by
the 5th ammendment, one solution for protecting your files might be:
Encrypt everything using a one-time pad. When compelled to provide
the one-time pad, provide a pad that decrypts the data to something
else. Any resulting plaintext can be crafted.
Ok, sure, that seems pretty painful (storage/protection of pad, etc).
I guess the only other technical solution would be steganography.
