If you can control where the unencrypted copy goes, you could
configure it to be on your local system, where you might be able to
have more control over it...  You could possibly even put it in an
encrypted ramdisk, if you needed to.  Of course, if it's mounted, and
your snoopers have root acess to your machine, that won't help much...
