Writable CD-ROMS as one-time pads

Is there anything inherently superior about CD-ROMs as a one-time
pad ? The size differential vis a vis Bernouli drive cartridges,
floptical disk drives, or just plain old floppy disks is kind of a
mixed blessing, and still doesn't answer the major question with
one-time pads - secure dissemination.

If you record - say - 5 of them and send them by 5 seperate couriers and
xor them together to send the message, your enemy has to compromise etc
5 people.
