Actually, it does work when you are not in front of your Mac.  However, in that 
case, you must first run the security command with the appropriate 
parameters/switches to unlock your keychain.  Then you can dive in with 
followup security commands.  However, yes, I agree it isn't terribly conducive 
for 'browsing' the keychain (my use case is pulling a couple of signing certs 
where I know precisely which I want).
