Wow, I did not realize that "no-permission" apps can read any file on the SD Card, I thought they at least needed the standard SD Card permission which I now realize is just SD Card write. I think that Android should implement some path-based security on the SD Card, although I guess that might be hard with their current model where I don't think any of the permissions have any arguments.

Problem with the SD Card is, AFAIK (might be wrong here) it's FAT formatted, so unless Android adds a security layer on top, there's no file permissions system.

The default permissions should just block access to the SD card, and let the user pick individual files to open if they want it.
