I don't think using a CC number as a key would achieve anything in the way of security, as it is very very easy to get a new CC card, with a new number and close the old account, thus enabling you to happily dish out the CC number to all and sundry with no worries about secuity.
I could be very frustrating for the legitimate user however, who cannot remember which CC was used as the key for the file they are trying to open.
