Mounting an encrypted volume presents the volume to all users on a machine

Hi,
I'm concerned about the default behaviour of mounting encrypted volumes.
The default behaviour is that a user must know and supply a passphrase
in order to mount an encrypted volume. This is good: know the
passphrase, you get to mount the volume.
What I am concerned about is that the volume is mounted for _every_ user
on the system to see.
I've filed a bug about this, and it got closed:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=646085
I'm quite in favour of secure by default. In the worst case, the
mountpoint would have permissions set to read access to all if you tick
a box.
Thoughts?
