Not 100% secure by any stretch of the imagination.

No hardware root of trust.
No trusted boot of signed trusted image.
Operating System isn't trustworthy (millions of lines of untrusted code)

I would call this "better" security for your wallet. An offline paper wallet stored in your safety deposit box at the bank is better (but isn't as convenient).

It's in the ~/.bitcoin folder.
/home/<username>/.bitcoin is a hidden folder, maybe that's why you don't find it.

Awesome article..

I made some modifications... I've used VirtuBox to create a ubuntu virtual machine on a usb drive and keep everthing running right there persistantly.

That way if I need it I can just boot the vm, and transfer what I need...

Instead of just having a .dat file on the media, theres an entire OS there where the wallet file is burried into. Besides, with it being in a virtual format, they wont be able to see it unless they boot and then log into the vm.
