Instead of tampering with your system what would you say on issuing those
sensitive commands in a new shell and then KILL that shell?

For example:

$ echo "This will propably get into .bash_history."
This will propably get into .bash_history.
$ bash
$ echo "While this won't when this shell gets KILLED!" | sha512sum
...
$ pgrep bash
$ kill <PID-of-that-new-bash-shell>
$
