What the aging hoi polloi might not be able to grasp is why, after many decades and even centuries of communication using diverse media (notably postal and telephone services) without encryption for the masses (i.e. for those who are neither spies nor wise guys nor soldiers engaged in battle et. al.), it has now somehow become a crucial need. -- “The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness.” "Speak, Memory," Vladimir Nabokov
