Personally... I just use the thermite/C4 method.
Ie., someone removes the hard drive == auto hd destruction via hidden
thermite or c4 ignition.
I also set it to trigger via too many incorrect password attempts.
That's only for my really important data though... the rest I don't care
enough about to be that paranoid.
Given that I also have roughly 50 hard drives (200GB and up)... there's
a level of security by obscurity as well... in that they'd have to find
the correct one first.
If your data is that important... relying on software shredding is
idiotic, at best.

If your data is valuable enough (or you are paranoid enough) you could
try something like this:
There are services that provide disappearing web sites. You could
have your encryption program make part of your key from such a web
site. Every time you decrypt your volume for use, it removes the old
site/key and creates a new site/key (which you would have to
memorize). The site would disappear after 24 hours automatically or 2
failed login attempts. So, if you wait long enough or give them a bad
password, your data is gone because you no longer actually have the
key. Well, there isn't a key anymore so...
