This is NOT a good idea
Authored by: sgi_oh_too on Apr 26, '04 03:41:32PM

As other posters have stated ... this is NOT a good idea. Hiding stuff in places where it shouldn't be is a horrible method of security. It is inadequate, confusing, and makes your data prone to loss and misplacement.

Just make an encrypted disk image, after all, that is what they are meant for anyways! You can also get something like PGP or GPG, but that is really a pain when considering that you can make encrypted disk images without installing anything additional.
