One thing I don't quite understand about NEO is that the NEON only requires a private key to access funds in the wallet without any encryption. What's to stop someone from just programatically trying out a bunch of private keys to check the wallet balances?

Is bitcoin exploitable in the same way? I thought that bitcoin wallets abstracted the private keys so that the wallet itself can be encrypted and not opened by just anyone.

Or maybe I'm overthinking this and the private keys are just too difficult to generate. But it seems that as more public/private addresses are generated the odds of finding an existing private key goes up.

There are more possible private keys than atoms in the universe, dumbo.

there are too many keys, you're never going to find one that has funds on it.
It's as simple as that.

thanks, I was overthinking it

I'm using gpg to store my private keys (also on an encrypted flash drive) but I don't like that I have to decrypt them to plaintext, are there any other better solutions?

Ah, i just saw this commit:

https://github.com/CityOfZion/neon-wallet/issues/52

This strategy makes a lot more sense to me.
