Yeah, that's something called "painfully obvious" -- not sure why you need to repeat it -- or write it in the first place. I don't think anyone has suggested that Evernote is not the final decision maker. Why even bother wasting the springs on your keyboard with such a worthless contribution?

Whether it's super-easy or not -- it was requested a 16 months ago... and it should have been a feature from the start (or nearly so). Security online -- especially when it comes to cloud services -- is a major concern. This is not a new problem and it is only is getting worse. Users shouldn't have to request this - its necessity is obvious.

And we should be able to password protect/encrypt individual notes in their entirety -- not just higher level notebooks. (the encrypt text feature is not a worthy substitute). I guess this an obvious extension of the original idea, but nevertheless...

Why is this not implemented yet? It seems so painfully obvious that it would be a useful feature. If Evernote wants to be a powerful ubiquitous platform, this capability should be added immediately. Security is a major issue (if not the primary issue) in the digital world.... Evernote should be well aware of this and help users protect their valuable data instead of offering a weak "encrypt selected text" feature.
