I never have quite understood this whole encryption battle. They always come up with something that is trivially breakable with the simplest of preexisting tools, yet manage to make it harder to work for the people who would have no idea how to use those tools, and who, therefore, have no intention of misusing the data in the first place.

It's like keeping your car keys inside your locked car. The thieves are more than willing to break the window to get the car, but your wife is locked out.
