Unfortunately, setting password protection for a stack is currently a 
one-way street: setting passKey at execution time will open the stack 
to prying eyes with no option to close it back until Revolution quits.

I submitted a bug/enhancement request last year asking to implement 
setting passKey to empty to relock (re-encrypt) the stack if it was 
unlocked at runtime (can't quote bug # since Bugzilla is being 
reworked). May be more votes are needed. I can't imagine it is hard 
to implement.
