Didn't the Russians invent nihilism? Of course, the nihilist attitude 
would be, why bother improving the security of e-mail? All this addition 
of encryption amounts to building better locks on the front door, but no 
real attack goes through the front door. They just dig holes in the 
basement using zero-days...
