Agreed, but to take if farther than that, the end user shouldn't even have to 
know what a key is in order to get at least some level of encryption.  I'm 
not saying that the more secure option of being able to get a key from 
someone in a secure manner should be excluded, but that at some point we need 
to settle for "safe enough is good enough" and leave it at that.
