The whole idea of a public key is that it _is_ public. Anyone can be in possession of it, and I don't care. If they're foolish enough to stick that key into a ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file, that doesn't do _me_ any harm, but I might do _them_ some harm by logging in and messing around with their system.
