Make the gpg-Binary suid-root, then this warning will go away. The
insecurity comes from swappable memory... you don't want your
passphrase to be written to the swap partition in an unlucky case, do
you?

chmod u+s /usr/bin/gpg

I think this is because the key you are encrypting your message to has
a default cipher algo which is somewhat old... CMIIW
