Want to send a truly secure message? Write it out by hand in a concrete enclosed room and then set it on fire. Boom. No interception. I mean, of course, that's not a very useful message - but it's extremely secure! It's kind of like the ideal way of securing a computer - encase it in concrete and drop it in the marianas trench. A volcano would probably work too in a pinch. The issue that some security folk, such as the author, don't comprehend is that people want to actually _use_ their tools and maybe, just possibly, have a decent experience in doing so. Sure, encrypted email isn't perfect. It's probably a step better than letting Google scan _every_ email and instead only let them scan the ones that hit a gmail account. Likewise, two people are capable of having a reasonably secure conversation over encrypted email. Calling people who move towards being more secure, even imperfectly, as LARPers is rather insulting. If anything, the author is LARPing as a security professional.
