"hen I saw the directory PORN with several sub-directories. I noticed a couple with names like GAY and BESTIALITY, and I decided I really did not want to view any of the content."

As someone has already noted, even viewing CP makes you a criminal in some places, so if you do have something to hide (like a passwords file, or financial data) then hiding it in a directory that any sane person is reasonably afraid to enter is (possibly) a good idea. You can also encrypt it if you like, on the grounds that anyone smart enough to decrypt it is probably smart enough to understand how bad it could be to decrypt something before you know what it is.
