Isn't it just common sense to assume email is in no way secure?

If the government wants it they will torture you in Egypt to get all your keys and so on.

I personally use fastmail but that is because I don't want google tying my email to browsing. I am pretty sure that if the NSA wants my stuff they will strap some 120V to Rob Mueller's testicles in a cave.

Nah. If they want your stuff, they'd work through the appropriate Mutual Assistance Treaty to get an Australian court to issue a warrant, and then we'd comply with it and hand over your mail because we follow the law.

Making a phone call is way easier and cheaper than giving RobM a free Mediterranean holiday :)
