   Micky is a master of quantum cryptography and he will find a way to   
   make it so nobody (not even him) can read the files. 7ZIP has an AES encryption   
   option, and you can set the password to your luggage digits like in the   
   Spaceballs movie. If you don't want to watch, it is 12345. Since I do use   
   the 7Zip encryption, but I don't particularly use it to "secure" anything,   
   all the crypto here is 12345 ("just like my luggage!").
