I prefer the security of sending a fax over sending an email. To eavesdrop on a fax transmission would require you to eavesdrop on a telephone line just at the right time. It's a point to point communication over a private line, as opposed to email that travels over public trunks, and past At&T 'closets' full of FBI/NSA equipment. So for sending sensitive documents like passports etc, I'd much rather scan and fax than send an email. (Now of course, the first thing the office worker does on receiving my fax is surely to scan and email it to some other coworker, but that is beyond my control.)
