Internet communication
should be as secure as sending a letter. The packet headers (or envelope) are read to deliver the letter. Already DPI is occuring to monitor the type of traffic, this means the envelope is being opened making the envelope more akin to an unsealed letter with the flap tucked in.
I don't share Lord Wests view, I feel Internet communications are no more secure than sending a postcard, then again I know that everything I do on the internet and email connections I am predominantly in front of is subject to retention and review anyway.
