No doubt that a system tool (like Werner says) like GnuPG or any others for that matter, which are free and OpenSource, are good tools people rely on. We all know that threats for online devices exist and mostly bugs or security holes are more or less quickly discovered and fixed. I believe that users interested in security and privacy always try to strive for the best solutions available, regardless of their threat model, i.e. what is good for activists or journalist in oppressed regimes etc. (which received advice and how-to's from professionals) may also be good for us, when trying to protect things we are doing online. My concern however, with the advancement of these powerful tools is that this is already a 'Russian roulette' while there is currently no defense AFAIK against them or guarantees that these tools are not been misused by third parties.
