I concur with the others.

At my previous gig (11gR1), we used column level access control that was...controlled by a given role. The column in question was a SSN and worked like a charm. Implementation was fairly easy, but beware of the applications that may need the SSN for various logic. We found that we were using the last 4 digits to (aid) do customer lookups. Just a little gotcha that was taken care of relatively quickly, just something to be aware of.
