The argument does not change as to where the fine line falls between being proactive in regards to terrorism and protecting civil privacy rights. But, choosing to use encryption in regards to your email is not always indicitive of you having something to hide. More often, it has to do with trying to protect what you have, as in confidential personal information or intellectual business property. And that, should always be a good enough reason to bother.

China doesn't even go this far. Wherever Europe goes America follows. Europe took the leap towards forcing ISPs to retain customer data, now there is debate over the same being forced upon ISPs in the US. Europe is looking like the US's testing ground.

If the FBI / CIA, the police can't crack the code just get some 12 year old hacker to decrypt the data. thats what our kids do best. I know I sure did when I was that age many many years ago
