First off... if the bank paid for your computer, they have the right
to tell you what you may and may not keep on it.  Enough said.
  
Given that... if you still want to keep your goodies away from the
prying eyes and fingers of Systems -- don't fiddle with setting
invisible bits and so forth.  Eventually, they'll get through.  I'd
suggest a MacGuardian lock (about $100 mail order).  Physically locks
out the keyboard and mouse so you can't do -anything-.
  
If they're willing to break the lock to get to your machine, that's a
pretty strong message that management MEANS IT when they say "keep
those systems clean."
