For Government agencies to use OmniFocus, I wonder how important encryption would be?
Not very important. The iPhone itself is encrypted.

Note, it wouldn't be all that difficult for the Omni Group to secure OmniFocus for iOS further; all they have to do is implement data protection, and then the data in the OF library would be further encrypted when the device is locked.

But, really, per-app lock screens are a bad precedent. Having 27 different lock screens with 27 PINs on iOS is a bad idea because people are going to be forgetting their PIN codes. iOS provides a very secure option with data protection, which leverages the device password. Implementing data protection in an app has little or no performance impact. And then you just put a secure password on the device and set it to lock quickly.

And… don't share your iOS device with others. They're really intended to be single-user devices.
