Yes, but an attacker can't access the database if that person is not on the 
machine itself.
And in this case I also don't have to encrypt it, right? ;-)

And of course IP traffic to 127.0.0.1 should *never* go outside the local 
machine, according to the spec. So any sniffer would have to be logged in on 
the local machine itself, in which case you're probably in trouble anyway.
