Yeah, though if you wanted to be sneaky-do you could encrypt a message, put it on a QR sticker, slap the sticker on some traffic pole as a dead drop, and let it hide in plain sight until your intended recipient came by and snapped a shot of it. My guess is that if the world ever gets to the crazy point where people feel they need to send GPG messages through non-electronic means, you're just as likely to get the rubber hose and time-out-in-the-little-box treatment for sending paper mail to someone with GPG'd QR codes or RFID tags as you are for sending GPG'd emails.
Some of this stuff is just silly, of course, we're nerds not spies, but if you're going to dial the paranoia to 11 you may as well be consistent about it.
