Nonsense; the only 'dumb' Question is the one not asked!

Some folks 'protect' themselves from this by storing their Keyrings on
removable media. (USB Memory stick, etc.)

The built-in protection for this is the use of a very secure passphrase.
 By using a passphrase hardened against Social Engineering and
Dictionary attack; then even if Your 'Secret Key' falls into the wrong
hands You are reasonably protected from compromise.  Of course, if You
are involved in situations where torture may be implemented to force You
to divulge the passphrase; then harden yourself or throw yourself under
a bus if capture is imminent.   :-\
