There's also the point that not all information's worth encrypting. It's 
of no great consequence to me if someone takes a copy of the ubuntu ISO 
I download or know I'm reading mail on ubuntu-list.

Privacy is another matter, but privacy's violated when they try.

OTOH if encryption impacts on download time that does matter.
