Founding fathers had no way of knowing of the current state of affairs, technologically speaking.

Imagine billions of unbreakable safes containing secret messages to and from anyone globally, instantly transported to anywhere in the world.

Like, dude, anyone with the appropriate security clearance that is aware of the implications of the encryption status quo isn’t spending time posting here.

People being able to communicate securely while leaving no trace behind is not new.

Granted, it is new that we can communicate world wide this way, but I don't see how that changes much. "The world" to an individual has always been, and still is mostly, filled with people they could easily meet with for a secret conversation.

Also, are not our minds like an unbreakable safe? Human minds have been around for a long time.
