LastPass may be secure today, but it is trivially easy for LastPass
(or a hypothetical attacker who gains access to LastPass's
infrastructure) to compromise that security simply by replacing the
javascript code which does the client side encryption and decryption
with some code that also passes the encryption key back up to the
server (or wherever).
