I don't need to, you can head off into the world believing what you want. You are however very wrong on this. Wether you decide you are going to continue to be wrong is of course up to you. I don't know you, do what you want.
> Also, I do doubt you have other stuff to do, seeing as you answered my post, point by point...
And I took time out of my day to do so, and yes, I do have other stuff to do.
> Yes there are 'bad actors' but lets not get too paranoid here. We can't wrap everything up in TLS cottonwool....
Taking adequate and proportional steps to secure our data, our identities and our money is not "wrapping everything up in cotton wool".
Risk and security are a sliding scale, we don't need to only talk about the extremes.

Another straw man argument, but just for fun:
> Are we all too afraid to leave our houses without 'security' ?
No would be the general answer, but it's going to depend on what your risks are. Who you are, where you live etc.
> Do we now talk in code in public just. in. case. someone is overhearing what we say?
Again, generally no. However if we have something that we want kept private we do either talk in code, or we wait until a more opportune moment.
