I find myself oddly reminded of a line from Jurassic Park[1] in
which Ian Malcolm remarked that people got so caught up in whether they
could do something that they didn't stop to think of whether or not they
*should*.
Could you do it? With certain flavors of PGP, yes.
Should you? Not on your life.
If your only goal is to obfuscate things, forget about using PGP
and just use PKZIP. This approach will have the same potential for data
interception and unauthorized viewing, but it won't lull anyone into a
false sense of security.
