"What if everyone believed that law-abiding citizens should use postcards for their mail? If a nonconformist tried to assert his privacy by using an envelope, it would draw suspicion." — Philip Zimmermann (Why I Wrote PGP, 1991) #privacy #encryption #conformity

Zimmermann's postcard argument is really a base-rate problem: suspicion attaches to encryption only while it's rare, which is why "just use Tor/PGP if you need it" always fails as advice — it makes the minority who do stand out more.
