Exactly. You can't stop secure encryption.
I remember in the very old days of the internet when only the US had strong encryption and thought it was some gotcha. They labeled it a weapon to prevent overseas export. Phil Zimmerman created PGP, lobbed the source into a book (protected under 1st amendment) then shipped it overseas.
If strong encryption exists, and people want to use it, you're just not going to be able to stop them.

I wish PGP was easier to use. The barrier to entry is way too high for everyday use.

There's a function built into Thunderbird to create keys, and I think publish the public cert directly to the MIT repo.

Reminds me of the story of immigrants who tatooed the algorithm on their back. It was illegal to send them back.

While I appreciate they have it, this is still rocket science when you describe it to an average user of mail. This stuff needs to be almost automatic and happen in the background for it to really be used by the masses.
