Again, YOUR contacts show in the html source and you talk about security? Or am I mis-understanding an issue here.

I did not bring up the security issue nor did I test what happens in case of an LDAP directory.

No, it's easier and less expensive to pull it once and so to speak "cache" them in the source code/clientside and perform the auto-complete without a server request. Otherwise it will be slower and more expensive as you hit the database or your LDAP directory for every key-event.

So every time I compose a new mail all my 500 (imagine 1000 or 5000 contacts!) are downloaded to the client... instead of just my girlfriends contact via AJAX whom I want to send a mail to. Not very efficient on slow connections!
