How to tell if key is encrypted?

I would like to automatically deduce in a script if an ssh key is
encrypted or not. Basically in a very particular application I want
to be the BOFH and enforce that users place a passphrase on their
id_rsa key. If they don't put a passphrase I want to send them back
to ssh-keygen until they do. I have not been able to deduce a way to
detect this yet. Any hints?
Thanks
Bob
