The only reason to use one-time pads is an extraordinary level of paranoia. If you are paranoid enough to need a one-time pad then it makes little sense for you as a private citizen to trust that hardware you take into public places hasn't been compromised. Manual creation and transmission of the encrypted message is the only approach that makes sense.

If lots of people adopted one-time pads it might hinder NSA et al but this would be akin to trying to convince people to wear masks whenever they are in public to hinder monitoring with CCTV.
