Protecting Private key

[Roscoe]

Well, the secret key is passwd protected.

You might want to try importing and using gpg -ao tsPub.ky --export 
NNNNN on another box/user_account and see for yourself that it the
exported secret key is useless without the passwd to it..

(heh, this is the first time I've used a mailing list so if this goes
horribly wrong...sorry. I did try to not stuff up.)
