Er, I can write an Applescript that does the same in 2 minutes. Or am I missing something ? 

As long as the Keychain is unlocked there is nothing to stop it. 

Not in my experience. Even when I access Keychain I can still only see the username and have to use my admin credentials to see the password in plaintext.

Yes but you are using the Keychain Access application. It is well behaved enough to ask your password, but Applescript keychain scripting will not bother. It just spits out the info. 

I always thought that was insecure, so good on whoever to make it a big issue hopefully soon I will not worry that much about using Apple Keychain.

I do not think Messershmidt does any Apple bashing. The worst he says is that people at Apple failed to replicate S Job's thinking, which is probably true but maybe not because it can't be taught, as he suggests, but rather because the company moved on and there is no place for a new Steve in Tim's Apple.
