So home security is delusional too since no house is ever fully secure? You lock your door at night, right? To slow down and deter break-ins.

There are people who use the Internet and do have privacy. They are a minority though and obviously, you are not one of them. However, if the full weight of a 3 letter agency wants information (digital, paper, sound, or any format) they will get it. All we can do is slow anyone down that wants our information and hope that once they get it that it is useless anyway to them (like your locked door at night).

Sweet dreams.

While true enough, that Pandora's box got opened a long time ago. Anyone who uses the internet today and has any expectations of privacy is delusional. "The Transparent Society" by David Brin is a good read on this subject.
