+Since keychains will be dispatching actions that are then passed through the background process to be routed, we should not trust or require them to include their own keychain ID as a prefix to their action, but we should tack it on ourselves, so that no action dispatched by a KeyChainComponent ever reaches any KeyChain other than its own.
