Yeah I agree encrypting all variables is a bit much, but encrypting some
of them might be enough to make the casual hacker move on to a different
server without encrypted variables.  If that person really wanted to
decrypt those variables, they could.  The most important thing to do is
to make sure data is validated before you do anything with it.

There is nothing inherently wrong with letting users see fuseaction

And to use a very weak form of "encryption" that makes you think that
you're somehow safe against attacks is an extremely bad situation to be
in.
