P.S. I assume that this source was speaking loosely, and strongly encrypted messages (such as are enabled by Thunderbird+GPG+Enigmail) are still "secure enough" (i.e, worth the supercomputer time needed to decrypt them only if you have already otherwise given the government serious reason to do so). I trust neither Hushmail nor Comodo, which both admit they'll hand the key to your email to the government if asked.

P.P.S. See also:
