Having worked in the electronic medical records field, I can assure you that
all that stuff is completely secure.  At least on Unix.  Unless the attacker
knows exotic system commands like 'cat'.

However, I'm not as worried about my medical records as I am about someone
"tuning" the engines of the airplane I'm on ....
