If you are paranoid about security then keep every user on your system in the 
same group, and only allow world access to your home directory.
I know, sounds odd, but because other users are members of the same group they 
will be denied access on a group basis before the system even gets to 
checking world access.
Execute permissions on a directory will allow a user into that directory, but 
will not allow them to see the files in it!
