 TK> "enter your private PGP key"... :)


I was just moving my own keys from one of a pc to my Blackberry  
when something interesting occurred to me.  First of all, my  
opengpg prompted for my existing passphrase *before* it would  
E)xport the key.  Secondly, even if someone had the key in their  
possession, they would need to know the passphrase to use it.

So, it seems that *just* having the private key block (without  
also knowing the passphrase) is not very useful to anyone.
