Iain Banks' book The Business features an organisation where people vote for their leaders. It was quite credible, I thought.

Happened to me in 1997 but I didn't mind
I've had my ubikey fido2 token knocking around on my keychain for about 7 years now. Scratched and beaten, works perfectly and never had a port damaged, it doesn't put enough pressure on it.
I am looking forward to the genai bust.
Probably best to avoid systems with known deniable encryption methods, and keep your dummy data there. Then hide your secrets e.g. in deleted space on a drive, in the cloud, or a well-hidden micro-sd card. All have risks, maybe it's best of all to not keep your secrets with you, and make sure they can't be associated with you.
As referred in other comment, the counter counter is to just keep beating to get further keys/hidden data.
There are some cases involving plausible deniability where game theory tells you should beat the person until dead even if they give up their keys, since there might be more.
