Ed,
Shane is right, any text you entered in script editor is easily found with quick look.
If you want to hide your credit card, even from Shane, then use this:
property bigSecret : ""
set my bigSecret to text returned of (display dialog "Tell me a secret:" default answer my bigSecret)
set bigSecret to encryptit(bigSecret)
on encryptit(x)
set l to {}
repeat with a in x
set end of l to id of a
end repeat
return l
end encryption
Nothing fancy, but, Shane try to recover a credit card number.
