Security in what way?
The "self-extracting" code can be modified i.e. in an MITM attack, and
so can malware code injected and run on the target machine.
For example.

The file name of an indirect node file is the string "iNode" immediately
followed by the link reference converted to decimal text, with no leading
zeroes. For example, an indirect node file with link reference 123 would
have the name "iNode123". - HFS Plus Volume Format, MacOS X

Perhaps you didn't read it yourself? Telling that you want to send your data
via transfer of a physical media only came up later, and it doesn't mitigate
this thread at all (since the attacker can read out the physical media,
modify the data and write them to a new media).
And you never ever bothered about verifying its integrity via any means, so
this attack should be considered seriously.

it does not matter if it is self extracting or normal archive. AES is
strong encryption. However a lot of mail servers/clients will be unhappy
about .exe as an attachment. It is better to send just normal encrypted
zip file and advise your recipients to use freeware like 7-zip or Zipeg
'Zipeg - Got pictures? Zip thru JPEG photo archives'
(http://www.zipeg.com) to unpack them.
