Please read the FAQ before posting to this list:

Personally I would not recommend a suid root gpg executable, even
after looking into the privileged code w/o finding any flaw. If you
cannot trust your computer or it's hard disk, you already have lost.
The only valid exception are diskless clients that perform
swapping/paging via network.
