Hi Truecrypt will not protect from NSA because certain parts of the disk encryption will always be known. Ie some disk fat and partition information.
Overwriting the disk FAT and partition area with another encryption algorithm should protect from this problem. other than this problem there was as far as I understood nothing else that needed to be done to improve Truecrypt for linux.
