When I import a person's PGP key into my keychain and then use it to encrypt a block of text for that person, should I then delete the key from my keychain after I'm finished?
I realized that I had a bunch of keys in there from past communications and that these could potentially be used as evidence if discovered.
Would it be a good idea to delete each key after I use it? I can always import it again later if I need to use it again, right? Most of them are used only briefly, some are used only once.

seems like it would be easier to just store them all encrypted on a Truecrypt container or something. Getting the keys again each time does make you weaker to MITM attacks.
