Why would someone grabbing your red and blue disks compromise your
key?   You have it encrypted, right?   The encryption key is only
present in wetware, right?   :'}

I generally don't think of "somebody stealing the red and blue disks"
as the way that keys get compromised - rather, keys get compromised
because someone successfully tricks you into revealing them, perhaps
with a trojan horse, and when you realize the key has been compromised
(hopefully quickly) you revoke it.  Am I dreaming here?
