ok, aggreed

But that is a major behavior change for people

You almost have to live a security lifestyle to prevent this.

That's putting it mildly. I've long since earned the distinction of being known as my agency's "Crypto Evangelist."

You almost have to live a security lifestyle to prevent this.

I do. It's my life, my hobby, and my job.

As long as you use a sufficiently healthy key pair, PGP is essentially unbreakable, but some in government have taken care of that as well. I don't remember the details of the case, but the simple fact that the defendant used PGP was enough to convict him recently. Also, some people have done time for refusing to give up the passphrase to their decryption key.

I fear the privacy and freedom we have given up in the name of "Homeland Security" will not easily be won back.
