If the threats/snooping-eyes announced their presence and intentions, they wouldn't be very effective, now would they?

The second sentence is true.

False. You're *already* being snooped on by governments and you're not interesting at all. You seem to be a very trusting person.

It seems to be effective enough for data in-flight that they (resources of governments) usually go after the persistent data on either end of the transport instead.

For Fidonet proper, possibly true (though that depends on the content of your netmail messages). For FTN, likely false.

Free certs are available.

Now you don't sound like a very trusting person. That was a quick turn around.
