Unsafe for what, how? You're making all sorts of claims and now an accusation without backing them up with a shred of evidence.

XTS is only useful for FDE, everything else should look for simpler constructions.

Maybe you need to read:

Would really appreciated if you would know you're talking about and provide evidence before saying "it's wrong" or "it's bad advice."

Did you just propose a disk encryption scheme whereby PBKDF2 is called on a sector by sector basis?

Absolutely not, that would NOT SCALE.

Again, you're making accusations, shifting the conversation without providing evidence. Talking with you is pointless.
