I would suspect that a Baysian analysis would indicate that the risk of holding (and losing) a key is greater than the risk of not holding (and needing) a key.
Cui bono? Or, in this case, risk to _whom_? The damage from losing a key is done to the key's owner, who's a mere Subject, while the dangers of needing a key that one doesn't have are interference with the Custodians doing the jobs they want to do. Sounds like a no-brainer, from the Government's viewpoint. TRUST NO ONE!
