AppleScript to sanitize Safari

There's no one method to get rid of cookies, history, and searches inside Apple's Safari browser. Yes, you can do these things with Safari, but they are all located in different menus. Someone has devised a nice Shell Script to do all this (at macosxhints.com). You can also use Cache Out to get rid of these things across multiple browsers. I happen to use Safari, Opera, Netscape, IE, and Firefox on my machine because I'm a web developer, so I need to test pages in several browsers. If you just use IE, you can also try IE Cache Cleaner. Finally, Allume Systems (formerly Aladdin Systems) has a feature called iClean inside its Spring Cleaning app. I have an older version and it usually saves me 20 - 30 MB every time I use it.
