you deserve a serious lart for suggesting something so hideously
insecure.  

ln -s /etc/passwd /var/tmp/airport

<wait>

cat /etc/passwd 
oh my!

something like this should go in /var/run.  

same thing goes for the previous poster.  this type of thing goes in
/var/run, if you must use tmp always use tempfile(1) or mktemp(1) to
create your temporary file.
