Rails - Sep 2012 - Protecting certain model attributes from being exposed in an API

In my current project, there are business and security requirements that 
prevent certain values from being exposed. I was looking for a way to 
specify which attributes in a model should be protected. This is what
I''ve
come up with and I would love feedback as to whether or not it''s a
valid
solution and how I could improve it.

Basically, I''m following the attr_accessible style and defining an 
attr_private method for setting specific attributes (or methods) as private.

Your thoughts are much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
