The official client just needs to be updated to support an encrypted wallet.dat file, would that really be so hard?

Also, Google "AaronBarr Anonymous", I'm sure this is a prank

Probably not hard...but is it needed...most responsible people are already handling their wallet.dat file properly...adding encryption would just add more of a false sense of security (that is...the lengths people go to in order to protect their wallet far exceed some encryption in the client, plus client encryption still would not help against keyloggers...right?)
