Why don't we use HTTPS for everything we send over the internet? Why don't we have locks on on all our mailboxes? In fact, the post is just terribly insecure.

Why don't we use HTTPS for everything we send over the internet? Why don't we have locks on on all our mailboxes? In fact, the post is just terribly insecure. Heck, plenty of people who live in more rural areas don't even lock the doors to their house.
