BTW, my 17 years old students are able to use GnuPG on Windows, where
it is not installed by default.

I consider "false security" to be worse than no security. If someone is
not willing to learn how to use tools as GnuPG is, they have do not use
them at all.

It is the same, as if someone don't want to learn how to lock his
home's door. One can use someone other, who will be locking/unlocking
them for he - but that person then can unlock his door for others too.

The security *is* or *is not* (as the gravidity), anything between is
false security.

regards
