A very good point against public key crypto in this situation. :-(

It's just that the trigger of "sentry:location" in this application doesn't 
seem that random; it should perhaps be a configuration option that has to be 
customised before the application will run (i.e. the default setting should 
cause the program to abort rather than betray your location).

cheers,
