   You are saying that you don't trust tls encryption, because some bad guy   
   can crack it? Rest assured, even if the NSA can crack tls, they won't   
   make the chinese aware of it just for the sake of busting you.   
   Cryptography is real, and cheap, so there's no reason not to use it. The   
   alternative is the good old tinfoil hat.
